First bushfire safety windows approved for building in Australia's highest Flame Zone areas

Many Australians love living in a bush setting but have to constantly cope with the threat of bushfires.
In addition, new strict Building Regulations for building or renovating in bushfire hazard designated BAL zones have put many conditions on all aspects of the external built environment.
Paarhammer's new bushfire Flame Zone approved BAL-FZ windows make it possible to combine aesthetics and design freedom with safety in bushfire prone areas.

In another Australian first, Paarhammer has achieved what most experts thought impossible: a high-quality timber window that can withstand ravaging bushfires without the need for additional screens or shutters needed to protect conventional windows and doors.
These new fire resistant windows and doors meet the Australian Standards 3959-2009 and 1530.8.2.
Whatever your rating, you can trust Paarhammer to provide you with bushfire safety windows and doors that will perform like no other.
