BAL 40 Certified Range of Cedar Windows & Doors from Corinthian

Stegbar introduces the most innovative form of bushfire protection

Living in the Australian bush offers a lifestyle beyond compare. But the threat of bushfires is never far from your doorstep and needs to be considered when building or renovating in such an idyllic setting.

Safety must always come first. The latest 2010 Building Code of Australia (BCA), and the updated Australian Standard AS3959 have established updated building and construction requirements for bushfire-zoned areas.

The 2010 BCA and updated AS3959 cover all aspects of the external built environment, including windows and doors.

AS3959 outlines different construction practices and building materials for five bushfire hazard levels, known as Bushfire Attack Levels (BALs).

• BAL 12.5: Low
• BAL 19: Moderate
• BAL 29: High
• BAL 40: Very high
• BAL FZ: Flame zone

To determine your home's BAL rating and any special requirements for building in your area, consult your local council, government or local fire authority.

Once you have your BAL rating, you can trust Stegbar to ensure your first choice in windows and doors will come without compromise.

Stegbar's stylish cedar range is the first certified BAL 40 system in Australia

Australian homes need innovative windows and doors to brave our harsh environment, to help control temperature and light and to look good inside and out.

With this in mind, Stegbar has developed - and extensively tested - a premium range of windows and doors that meet BAL 40 certification, giving you peace of mind against the threat of bushfires. The range also eliminates the need for bulky shutters, fire curtains or screens on fixed glazing.

In an industry first, this range now includes cedar windows and doors as well as aluminium and merbau!

Stegbar's stylish range is the first certified BAL 40 cedar system in Australia thanks to its innovation in design, stringent construction and quality components and materials. These systems comply with AS3959 and AS1530.8.1 testing criteria and are tested by the CSIRO.
