BUSHFIRE WINDOWS
At Miglas, we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and aim to exceed industry standards. Our AliClad system has been designed to be bushfire resistant for all attacks up to and including BAL-40, without needing external shutters.
BAL-rated Windows
New construction projects in bushfire-prone areas require assessment for bushfire attack levels (BAL). It is a means of measuring the risk of a building being affected by a bushfire, and helps to determine the amount of protection that building would need to withstand a fire. A BAL is measured based on how close the building is to bushland, the type of vegetation around it, and the slope of land. The higher the BAL, the more protection the building will require from bushfires. BAL-40 is the second-highest level, representing a very high risk.
Our bushfire-rated Windows
The Miglas AliClad system was the first fully tested range of bushfire windows and doors in Australia. Testing was conducted at the Exova Warrington Dandenong Victoria, a NATA-accredited laboratory and exceeded AS 1530.8.1-2007 to comply with the requirements of AS 3959-2009. This means the system is a complete bushfire-resistant solution for all bushfire attack levels up to and including BAL-40 without the need for external shutters.
​
Australian-designed and manufactured, our composite double glazed window system protects from ember attack and close proximity fire. AliClad is specially designed to minimise the transfer of radiant heat from a bushfire to the inside of your home. When compared to a single glazed bushfire-compliant windows, this provides a result approximately 10 times more effective. By reducing the radiant heat transfer there is not only protection for combustible materials such as curtains and furniture, but further protection to the occupants.
Many locations where bushfires are a concern are commonly associated with superb views. Understanding this, Miglas have tested fire-resistant windows and doors to sizes much larger than those required by the Australian Standards. Our Aliclad product allows you to build your home with bushfire safety and easily meet the increasing energy efficiency requirements without compromising on design. Any glazing element can reach 6m2, over twice what is allowed in standard tested windows.
