The introduction of Australian Standard AS 3959 - 2009 - Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas presents new challenges to building designers with differing design requirements across 6 Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) categories.
While design, building methods and bushfire action plans will remain the major solution to the problem, the choice of building materials, particularly external cladding, is clearly an important decision.
The exceptional fire properties of Hebel systems make it an ideal choice for construction in all Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) categories.
Hebel panels are non-combustible and have been tested at CSIRO to achieve excellent fire ratings. Also known as Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) this unique material delivers the right balance between insulation and thermal mass and even under extreme heat, it will not explode.
With its excellent fire properties, combined with exceptional thermal and acoustic performance, Hebel® is seen by a growing number of builders and designers as a superior construction method than the traditional alternatives.
