Higher level of resistance to fire damage.

INVISI-GARD Firesafe will protect your property from floating embers preventing them passing through the screens and its fire attenuation properties will reduce the intensity of radiant heat flux by up to 27% over two hours based on an incident energy of 80 kW per square metre, and 43% based on an incident energy of 40kW per square metre. ( Tested by the CSIRO to the latest test method using broad spectrum radiometer measuring both incident heat flux and transmitted heat.).

In most bushfire situations the heat level is around 40kw/m2 and passes within minutes. INVISI-GARD Firesafe has been tested at up to 80kw/m2 for two hours which is well above the minimum requirement of one hour.

Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 Construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas governs the requirements of buildings constructed in bush fire prone areas. By installing INVISI-GARD Firesafe your property will comply with AS3959-2009 and the requirements of the Building Code of Australia.

Inner-city constructions require additional attention to fire attenuation.

By installing INVISI-GARD Firesafe more flexibility of design is possible and cost savings can be made. Windows facing adjoining properties can be positioned within 3 metres of the boundary or within 6 metres of a building positioned on the same building allotment.

The installation of INVISI-GARD Firesafe can offer substantial cost savings as INVISI-GARD Firesafe reduces heat flux which may eliminate the requirement for drench boxes to be installed above window openings. Where INVISI-GARD Firesafe is not deemed to be sufficient on its own, INVISI-GARD Firesafe can be used in conjunction with drench boxes increasing the attenuation properties by a considerable margin.
