Bushfire Protection
Bushfire Protection
Bowsers specialises in providing state-of-the-art bushfire protection systems for homes and structures located in bushfire-prone areas, specifically those classified as “Flame Zone” areas. In response to the devastating Victorian Black Saturday bushfires in 2009, Australian Standard AS3959 was introduced, leading to significant changes in planning for bushfire protection. As the distributor of Bushfire Roof and Wall Systems in NSW, Bowsers has a decade of experience working closely with homeowners, roofing contractors, and builders to deliver solutions compliant with BAL-FZ (flame zone) requirements.
Our solutions, meet the Rural Fire Service’s standards, offering unparalleled protection against the direct impacts of bushfires.

FAQs
The BAL rating is the Australian standard for measuring the risk of a home’s exposure to ember attack, radiant heat, and direct flame contact. The BAL rating determines the construction and building requirements necessary to protect homes in bushfire prone areas.
The State Governments determine these ratings. The BAL takes into consideration a number of factors, including the Fire Danger Index, the slope of the land, type of surrounding vegetation and its proximity to any building. The “Flame Zone” areas are the highest bush attack level.
