Bushfire-Rated Gutter Guards and How They Work?

Aug 8, 2018 | Gutter Guards

Why are Gutter Guards important?

Gutter Guards are an essential system of protection for your gutters and home, particularly in bushfire-prone areas. Most building codes now require all new homes to be fitted with bushfire-rated gutter guards and if you live in a high fire-danger environment, gutter guards are mandatory. New statutory regulations, AS3959:2009 (Building in a Bushfire Prone Area) recommends that all new or renovated buildings within bushfire prone areas have non-combustible leaf guards installed. In order for a system to comply with this standard it must have a fire rating of 5 or less (5 being the lowest rating) and be tested in accordance with AS1530.2.

To help prevent burning embers igniting leaf litter in your gutters, consider installing non-combustible gutter guards. Gutters should be made of non-combustible material and box gutters flashed at the junction with the roof. Roofs, roofing systems and accessories should also be non-combustible and roof junction should be sealed to prevent gaps.

The guys cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the job. I must say we are very grateful to Eco for eliminating the problem we had, with water coming through the ceiling and now feel prepared for summer in knowing that the fallen leaves and branches from the taller trees will not collect in our gutters or catch fire.

Thanks Michael and Jacky for all your advice and for installing our gutter guards. The roof looks so much better now that the gutter guards have been installed and looks almost new again after the cleaning of the gutters. Our little uninvited guests can no longer make their home in our roof and we feel a lot safer that we're better protected against the threat of bushfires. Thank you for all your help.
