How we protect your property with fire rated gutter mesh
If you live in a rural or high-risk bushfire area, you’ll understand the importance of taking every measure you can to protect your property and family.
A build-up of dry leaves and debris in your gutters is a potential ignition risk for airborne burning embers, which can also get inside your building through small gaps between your gutters, roof and fascia. Councils and fire authorities recommend ember proof mesh to mitigate the risk.
Guttershield’s fire rated gutter guard products are made from premium woven aluminium mesh and are ember proof.
Why Guttershield’s fire rated products are the best choice for protecting properties in bushfire areas
Bushfire standard compliance
Guttershield’s premium woven ember guard aluminium mesh product is compliant with the Australian Standard AS3959-2009 and meets local BAL rating requirements. It’s designed to stop burning embers from igniting debris and dry leaves in your gutters and entering your building via gaps in the gutters, roof and fascia.
Non combustible
While gutter mesh guards are optional for new and existing builds, if you choose to install them, they must be non-combustible. Guttershield’s premium woven ember guard aluminium mesh and expanded aluminium mesh products are non-combustible, giving you peace of mind when it comes to protecting your home in bushfire areas.
Range of colours
Guttershield’s ember proof mesh products not only provide the protection you need for your property and family in bushfire areas, but are also available in a range of contemporary colours to blend in with your property’s roof colour. See below for details of the colours available for both products.

Why we believe that Guttershield is the best choice for gutter protection in bushfire areas
Not all products are created equal. When it comes to protecting your home from airborne embers, the cheapest products must be avoided. Saving a few dollars could be the worst decision you make, as they won’t provide the fire rated protection you need. See our Products page for full technical details.
Likewise, expert installation is critical to ensuring your property is protected. It only takes one poorly installed rivet to pop out and you have a hole where debris, vermin and flying embers can penetrate. See our About Us page and meet our experienced team.
