In BAL-FZ zones, ember attack is one of the biggest risks. Properly sealing the roof space is critical to preventing wind-driven embers from entering and igniting concealed areas. It’s the details you don’t see that protect what matters most.
For our Illawong project, we implemented ember protection to the roof space in line with AS3959-2018 BAL-FZ requirements, including:
✔️ Installation of 15mm tongue & groove plywood
✔️ Fire-rated insulation
✔️ Fire-rated caulking to fascia and gutter apertures
When you’re building in a bushfire-prone area, there’s no cutting corners — only building smarter and stronger.
