Answer:
Expandify homes are engineered to be upgraded to BAL-12.5 compliance where required. At this time, BAL-29 and BAL-FZ are not standard inclusions and may require extensive modification or be unsuitable for certain models.

BAL compliance options:

  • BAL-12.5 Upgrades include fire-resistant Rockwool insulation, ember guards, and metal cladding
  • Tempered, double-glazed windows reduce ember penetration
  • Optional non-combustible external features can be added depending on site requirements

Important:

  • Sites with higher BAL ratings (BAL-29, BAL-FZ) may not be suitable for standard Expandify models
  • Additional engineering, cost, and materials may apply
  • All BAL compliance must be reviewed during the Prelim or DA process by your certifier
