Frequently asked questions
What is bushfire mesh?
Bushfire mesh is a type of woven wire mesh designed to endure extreme heat and ember attacks, giving windows, doors and vents a vital layer of protection during a bushfire.
What does bushfire mesh protect against?
It acts as a barrier that slows the spread of flames and ember attack, protecting openings such as windows, doors, skylights, decking and patios, heating units, roof vents and gutters, evaporative cooling units, and eaves and downpipes.
Does bushfire mesh need to be a special product?
Not necessarily — bushfire mesh is not different from any woven wire mesh. Any stainless steel woven wire mesh with an aperture of 2mm or less automatically complies with the Australian bushfire standard for protection.
What standard does bushfire mesh need to meet?
Bushfire protection under AS3959-2009 applies to sites where a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) has been determined, specifying that openings in buildings in bushfire-prone areas be screened with corrosion-resistant steel mesh with a maximum aperture.
Can bushfire mesh be combined with architectural or other mesh options?
Yes — for both protection and style, bushfire mesh pairs well with our Architectural Wire Mesh range, and can be sourced in Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh or Galvanised Woven Wire Mesh depending on your durability needs.
