If your property is located in a bushfire-prone area, it must comply with strict construction requirements to withstand intense heat, burning debris, and possible exposure to the fire front. All new Australian homes constructed in a bushfire prone area must meet a minimum of BAL-12.5. High-performance glazing solutions are crucial in protecting your home from fire risk.
aluplast systems are designed to withstand the harshest conditions. Our BAL40 windows and doors use the latest technology in German hardware and incorporate the latest in soft coat low-e technology. Not only does this create a safer barrier for your home, but it dramatically improves your everyday comfort by increasing the insulating properties of the double glazing. This keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. What’s more, the need for expensive fire screens and shutters on entrance and sliding doors is eliminated.
The BAL rating system has six levels, ranging from little or no risk to extreme risk. Each level specifies different requirements for building materials, construction methods, and features. This includes window and door systems and screens.

The Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) is a key part of Australia’s bushfire rating system, used to assess a home’s exposure to fire risk. Each BAL category defines construction requirements based on the intensity of heat, embers, and flames. Knowing your property’s bushfire rating helps you choose compliant materials, ensuring better protection and long-term safety.
