Comprehensive Bushfire Safety
All aluplast uPVC systems can be built in bushfire zones up to BAL29 and since local testing was achieved in Melbourne during 2018, we have a range of systems tested to comply with BAL40 requirements as below.
aluplast has developed, tested and complied with stringent BAL40 bushfire requirements via its IDEAL4000 and smart-slide series. Designed to meet and exceed BCA requirements for BAL40 compliance under Australian Standard AS3959-2018, homeowners now have access to products that will not only protect their homes but also maintain high standards when it comes to insulation, functionality and style at an affordable cost. Available in an extended range of inwards and outwards opening styles, aluplast now offers Australia‘s largest range of uPVC-certified BAL40 solutions.
Many Australian homes are located in areas prone to bushfire attacks. Changes to the BCA in 2011 and the revision of AS3959-2018, have increased the stringency around the selection of windows and doors for new build or renovation projects in bushfire-prone areas. These changes are intended to reduce the risk of loss of life or damage to property in bushfire areas.
This keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. What‘s more, the need for expensive and unsightly fire screens and shutters on entrance doors, sliding doors and fixed windows is eliminated. Selecting windows and doors from aluplast can give you peace of mind as well as an extra layer of comfort that you may not have had access to in the past. At aluplast, we now offer Australia‘s most affordable, energy-efficient range of BAL-40 Bushfire-rated windows and doors.
