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 Promat’s 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.
Bushfire protection is critical for safeguarding properties and lives in areas at high risk of bushfires. Effective bushfire protection systems not only prevent the loss of homes and structures but also provide residents with peace of mind during the bushfire season. The implementation of these systems is a crucial step towards enhancing a property’s resilience to bushfires, minimising damage, and ensuring the safety of occupants.
Bowsers’ approach to bushfire protection is comprehensive and tailored to meet the specific needs of each property within bushfire zones. Leveraging the advanced technology of Promat’s Bushfire Roof and Wall Systems, we offer solutions that are rigorously tested and proven to withstand the severe conditions of a bushfire. Our team of experts works diligently to ensure that every installation is compliant with the latest Australian Standards, providing effective and reliable bushfire protection.
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.
