Bush Fire Ember Gutter Guard
With the increase in bushfires across Australia, the installation of Ember Mesh gutter guards is on the rise. More and more homeowners are looking for ways to protect their homes from the threat of bush fires. One way to do this is by installing fire-resistant gutter guards. Ember mesh can stop burning leaves, fallen branches or embers carried in the wind, from landing in your gutters and spreading fire to your home. That is what makes it such a benefit.
Fire Resistant Gutter Guard Mesh
While this is a great idea, the problems arise when poorer quality ember mesh does not fit the profile of the roof. If there are gaps, embers can still make their way into your gutter and set fire to debris. Another issue is if the ember mesh or fire-resistant gutter guard is not itself fireproof enough. There are ember mesh gutter guards on the market that can also catch fire. Not ours.
Why Is Bushfire Gutter Mesh Important?
The most common way that houses are lost during a bushfire, is through embers catching fire to debris such as leaf litter on the roof and most commonly, in the gutters of a home. Even if gutters are kept relatively clean of debris, they can still harbour embers that can spread to newly fallen twigs and leaves, blown around in the dry windy conditions’ that bushfires thrive in. Quality ember mesh, or bushfire gutter mesh can prevent this from happening to you.
Installing Bushfire Ember Mesh Gutter Guards
As with all of our gutter guard products, our Ember Mesh product is easy to install. It can be pressed to match the contour of your roofing, such as tiles or different types of Colorbond roofing too. This eliminates the risk of gaps in your gutter guard, which is where flying embers may find their way into your gutters.
Bushfire Attack Levels
Many rural homes across Australia are in with areas designated as higher risk. If you are building a home in some higher-risk zones, then your construction may be subject to BAL building restrictions. Our Australian made Ember Mesh Gutter Guard is ideal in high-risk areas, including BAL–40 and BAL-FZ or Flame Zone, areas.
