Anti Spark 316 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh 1.64mm Appeture For Bushfire Prone Areas
Stainless steel bushfire woven wire mesh for ember protection
Bushfire Mesh Explaination
Many areas of Australia are subject to summer bushfires which cause loss of life, livestock, homes, farm buildings and infrastructure, and cost the country millions of dollars every year.
In Victoria in 2009, what became known as the Black Saturday bush fires, prompted the development of Australian Standard 3959-2009 (Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas) which gives people who are building, re-building, retrofitting or renovating their homes, a clear direction on how to better protect their homes against bushfires.
Anti Spark Mesh provides protection against ember attack in areas that are susceptible to bushfire. The mesh is for use in many applications such as protecting windows, covering weepholes, roof vents, gutters and doors.

Radiant Heat
Fire Test on attenuation of radiant heat flux
Using a test procedure given in AS 1530 part 8.1 the mesh has been evaluated using a radiant heat flux exposure of up to and including 40kW/m² (BAL 40). The attenuation of the radiant heat flux provided by the mesh was approximately 50%.
