Our aluminium ember guards and steel gutter guards are corrosion-resistant, non-combustible and meet the Australian BAL rating standards and CSIRO certification. Our tuff mesh and gutter mesh aluminium mesh are BAL 29 fire-rated and our steel mesh is BAL-FZ fire-rated.
When installing a gutter guard to a house in a bushfire rated area, you must consider the Australian standard Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) for that area. Each level dictates different bushfire safety specific construction methods and materials to prevent bushfire property damage and spread. This is especially relevant to new housing and gutter protection in bushfire prone areas.
If you seek an ember guard for a BAL-rated area, please contact our sales support team for more guidance.
Yes. A leafguard protects your gutters from heavy downpours. If you live in tropical climates or areas prone to steady heavy rain, we recommend a commercial-grade mesh for added durability and strength. Visit our TuffMesh page for more details.
Metal gutter protection systems are most popular for homeowners and gutter guard installers alike. Typically, plastic gutter guards are less durable, fire-resistant and long-lasting, and prone to colour fading over time compared to metal gutter guards.
We do recommend poly gutter guards for coastal properties and galvanised roofs.
Aluminium gutter guard is the metal of choice. Aluminium gutter guards are more robust and non-reactant. Steel gutter guards systems are powder-coated, but they will react and rust more quickly as the coating breaks down. The aluminium gutter guard’s extruding process offers more longevity and strength than steel welding. View our GutterMesh & TuffMesh aluminium ranges and SteelMesh ranges.
Yes. Leaf guard protects downpipes if you choose a complete house solution.
Our TuffMesh range has complied with an AS4020 rating which means it is drinking water compliant.
We recommend a special leaf guard for solar panel protection. Our SolarMesh is a wire mesh that promotes increased airflow meaning your panels do not heat up and diminish the energy your panels can collect per day.
Across urban and regional Australia, birds cause structural harm to residential, commercial buildings and storefronts, spreading disease, mites and bacteria. Birds also commonly attract other pests, including vermin, possums, and insects, that further risk your family’s health. Business owners report damage to commercial structures and electrical damage. They also pose a threat to solar panel structures and functions.
Most birds that cause problems for homeowners are introduced-birds though some are natives. Our installation partners’ most common birds that rid homes and buildings are seagulls, pigeons, mynas, starlings, and sparrows.
Bird control technicians will inspect common bird hot spots on or near your property and locate any nests. They identify key sites and areas of your home where birds can enter the building or property. This knowledge will help a bird mesh installer provide a bespoke bird solution for you that incorporates our bird mesh solution. We will secure the area and prevent birds from settling down to roost or building nests.
Our bird proofing services integrate efficient methods explicitly customised for your problem while saving you money and time. DIY bird control consists of a lot of physical labour and costly materials. They can also cause further damage to buildings, whereas ours are designed to protect the structural integrity of your building. Particularly important for commercial or heritage buildings.
A gutter guard or bird mesh is the most permanent and cost-effective solution to get rid of birds. Our mesh bird prevention and proofing measures are more humane and eco-friendly than other pest control measures, including bird spikes, bird netting and chemical sprays. The mesh comes with various materials to suit your needs and in an array and colorbond® colours to effortlessly match your colorbond® roof.
A complete bird proofing solution is only possible after thoroughly inspecting all possible entry points and property areas. Installers must secure the mesh to all locations and prevent birds from settling down to roost or nest. A complete solution includes proofing solar panels on the roof.
The only way to ensure that you stop birds nesting from under the solar panels is to deny them access to them. Using a solar mesh, you can fix the mesh around the outside of the panels, which reduces damage caused by birds and prevents leaves and other debris from accumulating under the panels.
A complete bird proofing solution is only possible after thoroughly inspecting all possible entry points and property areas. Installers must secure the mesh to all locations and prevent birds from settling down to roost or nest. A complete solution includes proofing solar panels on the roof.
A solar mesh kit comes with coated stainless steel mesh or galvanised mesh with a 12mm hole size. The hole size of the mesh is vital to ensure optimal airflow and light through the panel, preventing moisture damage that will reduce the efficiency of the panels.
Fix the mesh directly to the roof, but use solar panel clips to attach the mesh securely to the solar panel. This ensures you do not damage the panels, and you get completed solar panel protection.
Hire an experienced team to install the solar panel mesh kit to roofs and panels for peace of mind.
No. Attaching bird spikes or similar products to your solar panels may cause damage to the panels, reduce efficiency and void any warranties. For the best solar panel protection, use our SolarMesh system.
Once a pigeon nests under your solar panels, physical removal or waiting until they leave the nest is the only option. Most pigeons will return to the solar panel mesh even after nesting seasons because the panels offer complete protection and warmth.
Pest control services offer removal services; however, you must be careful that these companies do not damage or break the panels in the removal process. For the best solar panel protection against pigeons, install a SolarMesh system before they nest under the panels.
It depends on the material, fixing and the area that requires bird proofing. A solar panel mesh kit will cost between $150-$200 on average for residential houses, but this does not include installation labour costs – we recommend professional installation of the product to avoid damage or warranty voids.
The mesh hole size is the critical difference between an ember and a gutter guard. Many gutter guards are fire-resistant, but only gutter guards with an aperture size less than 2mm meet the ember guard compliancy.
It depends on your gutter protection needs. A gutter guard protects your gutter from heavy downpours but is not ember guard compliant. If you need a gutter guard in bushfire-prone areas, you must get an ember or gutter guard that complies with your BAL ratings. If you live in tropical climates or areas prone to steady heavy rain, we recommend a commercial-grade mesh for added durability and strength. Visit our TuffMesh page for more details.

Yes. Ember guards that comply with Australian standard AS3959-1999, such as our TuffMesh® range can be used with rainwater harvesting solutions. A rural home in a bushfire prone area with water tanks for drinking water must comply with Australian standard AS3959-1999.
Ember guard does not work with solar panels as the hole size is too small to allow optimal light and airflow. Our SolarMesh is a wire mesh that promotes increased airflow meaning your panels do not heat up and diminish the energy your panels can collect per day. It also protects your solar panels from collecting leaf litter and bird materials that ignite in a bushfire.
A commercial-grade gutter guard is better than standard guards for commercial applications due to the strength and durability of the mesh. It also has superior spanning properties making it ideal for commercial roof types. See our commercial gutter guards in our TuffMesh® range.
There are four standard roof profiles for residential properties: tiled, corrugated, trimdek® and Klip-lok®. Our Gutter guard ranges have the appropriate accessories to accommodate all four roof types. We see an increase in non-standard roof types and guttering layouts such as box gutter and parapet modern architecture; we develop a range of bracing and fixing options to ensure we can fit into any guttering system and help gutters clear.
Most commercial roofs have Klip-lok®, flat roofs, or spandek®, and our commercial-grade mesh ranges are designed specifically to accommodate these roof profiles, including roof-to-roof, roof-to-gutter, roof-to-box gutter, roof-to-valleys, and more.
Make informed decisions on materials and best installation practices with our professional service.
We recommend using a mixture of bird proofing for commercial buildings, including gutter guard, spikes and netting. We recommend having the entire property inspected, including roof cavities, gutters and roof cavities, before you commit to a gutter mesh as your primary proofing method.
While a gutter guard is an effective measure against pest infestations in residential buildings, it may not be suitable for all types of pest infestations, including mice and rats, as there are many access points, including wall cavities and foundational gaps.
Yes. Our SteelMesh, GutterMesh & TuffMesh ember guard ranges provide comprehensive bush fires protection for BAL29 ratings up to BAL-40 and BAL-FZ. Use our design and quote services, and speak to our experts to ensure your gutter guard meets the building code for your local area.
It is important to note that ember proofing your commercial property will not fire proof the building, however, ember proofing does reduce the risk of leaf litter igniting in gutters, ventilation systems, roof cavities etc.
Our TuffMesh range has complied with an AS4020 rating which means it is drinking water compliant.
