Tested, not assumed
When lives are at risk, assumptions aren't enough.
Most windows sold for bushfire zones are "deemed-to-satisfy" – built to a formula and assumed to work. BALtech windows have been set on fire and survived. The difference isn't paperwork. It's proof.

How to get started
Find your BAL rating
Your building certifier, council, or a bushfire consultant determines your rating. Most new builds in bush-adjacent areas require a formal BAL assessment before permits are issued.
Choose your system
BAL-40 and below - aluminium range. Flame Zone (BAL-FZ) - steel range, tested to AS1530.8.2. We'll confirm the right system based on your rating.
Request a quote
Tell us your BAL rating, window count, and configurations. We'll provide a clear, itemised quote. No jargon, no pressure.
Compliance included
Every BALtech system comes with full test reports and compliance records – everything your certifier and council needs for approval.
