Embers love tiled roofs. All roofs are a vulnerable risk. How do embers get inside the roof space and how can you stop them?

Bushfire behaviour - Embers are the most prevalent cause of house loss

Every bushfire has embers. They love gaps. They destroy houses. If you know what to do and take action you can reduce the risk of your home being destroyed.

90% of Australian houses in high risk areas are not resilient to a bushfire. Embers are an absolute certainty in a bushfire. They cause 90% of house loss. Understand the numerous vulnerabilities.

Embers

Skylights hate embers. Fibreglass roof sheeting is a disaster waiting to happen. How risky are polycarbonate and fibreglass roof sheeting, skylights and evaporative coolers?
