We have the largest range of BAL-12.5 tested windows.
Wildfires in Australia are almost common during the hot months due to Australia’s hot and dry climate.
This document has been prepared to assist in the preparation of plans and specifications for BAL-12.5, including the changes imposed by clause 7.5.2. Protection planning
from wildfires for 2019 (NSW changes in accordance with G5.2(a)(i) and 3.10.5.0(c)(i) NCC).
BAL-12.5 is primarily designed to protect your building from the effects of embers and thermal radiation with a power of up to 12.5 kW/m2 inclusive.
To comply with the Australian Building Code, your building plans or conforming development certificates must contain detailed building design information appropriate to the level of wildfire.
Those parts of this document that apply to your design should be included in the building certificate plans or the building specification.
The building requirements for the next lower floor can be used to elevate a dwelling that is not affected by a wildfire source. However, it must not be reduced below BAL 12.5 and does not extend to the subfloor or roof.
An elevation is unaffected if the entire elevation is completely shielded from the wildfire source by another part of the building.
Any element of a structure or system that meets the test criteria specified in AS 1530.8.1 may be used in lieu of the applicable requirements below (see clause 3.8 of the Standard).
Casement windows are usually tall and narrow, and with multiple openings, there may be a single retractable mosquito net covering the entire window opening.
If this ventilation is not enough, the swing or turn function will provide a wide air outlet!
Tilt and turn windows are the most convenient option in operation, they prefer to buy it for glazing private, multi-apartment, administrative, commercial and industrial buildings.
Upvc window systems with one sash are a budget solution. Windows cost is affected by the size, shape of the opening, profile model, insulated glass unit, hardware.
This window opens out from the bottom, operated by either a handle or winder and therefore saves space internally. Awning windows also perform better than sliding in terms of wind resistance, water penetration, acoustic insulation and fire resistance due to the perimeter double rubber compression seal. Another window style with similar features is a Tilt and Turn window.
Double awning window opens out from the bottom, operated by either a handle or winder and therefore saves space internally. An double awning window with a winder can have a fixed flyscreen, whereas the handle operated option is able to have a retractable flyscreen installed. Another window style with similar features is a Casement window.
Sliding structures are designed individually for you and your building. Thanks to a wide range and decorative techniques, we will produce windows that harmoniously fit into any architectural style.
Such sliding upvc windows are more durable, reliable and durable. They are not so whimsical in care, although they require maintenance to avoid premature damage.
