BAL FZ: Extreme Risk
Which materials are good for a bushfire safe house?
Though there is no such thing as a flame zone kit, by choosing materials carefully, specifiers can go a long way to improving their expertise in bushfire proof house design.
Cladding - In terms of external cladding, corrugated iron is a sound choice for a fireproof house, as are some types of fibre cement panelling.
Timber - Care should be taken when using timber for decking and so forth. Fire resistant timbers include turpentine, red ironbark, blackbutt, merbau, red river gum. spotted gum, and silvertop ash are recommended for house designs for bushfire areas.
