BAL29 Rated External Cladding
When you are building or renovating a home, there’s lots to keep in mind. Balancing aesthetics, materials, budgets, and environmental impact are all important, but when your property is in a bushfire prone area, safety needs to be at the top of your priorities.
Fire resistance in building materials continues to improve, with important technical innovations you need to be aware of.
Most importantly, when you are choosing cladding for the outside of your home, fire safety is paramount. Thankfully, Urbanline have the perfect product that has a high Bushfire Attack Level (Bal) rating, combined with a sleek design.
What is BAL and why is it important?
Bal is a measurement system for judging a building’s susceptibility to embers, radiant heat, and contact with flames. It’s a way for consumers, regulators, and manufacturers to understand how safe a building or construction materials are in response to the threat of a bushfire.
This is important because the Bal rating for your area dictates what materials need to be used in construction, helps you understand what you are protected against, and how to keep your family safe in the event of a bushfire emergency. The rating system uses numbers that express increments of radiant heat that can be safely withstood by the material. The ratings go from Bal Low (insufficient risk to justify construction requirements), through Bal 12.5, Bal 19, Bal 29, Bal 40, and Bal FZ (the highest rating).
