Roof Tek supplies and installs BAL-rated metal roofing for bushfire zones across Sydney’s high-risk bushfire corridors, including the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Hornsby, Northern Beaches escarpment, Sutherland Shire bushland fringes, and the Hills District.
Colorbond steel is a non-combustible roofing material fully compliant with AS 3959 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire-Prone Areas, making it the preferred choice for homes and businesses in bushfire-affected regions.
If you live in a bushfire-prone area and are asking “what metal roofing is BAL-rated for bushfire zones in Sydney?” Roof Tek has the answer. Our licensed roofing contractors help homeowners across greater Sydney select the right BAL rating and install compliant metal roofing that meets council and insurer requirements.
Your Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) is determined by your fire danger index, distance from vegetation, and local council zoning. Use the guide below to understand what each level means:
| AL Rating | Risk Level | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| BAL-LOW | Very low | Minimal risk — standard construction applies |
| BAL-12.5 | Low | Ember attack possible — basic ember protection required |
| BAL-19 | Medium | Increased ember risk with some radiant heat — additional shielding required |
| BAL-29 | High | Significant radiant heat and ember attack — stronger construction standards apply |
| BAL-40 | Very high | Extreme radiant heat — non-combustible materials required throughout |
| BAL-FZ | Flame Zone | Direct flame contact likely — the highest construction standard applies |
