Jolong Windows & Doors: Four Products Pass BAL-40-Related Testing

Expanding Bushfire-Related Window and Door Solutions for Australian Building Projects

Jolong Windows & Doors continues to strengthen its product portfolio for the Australian building market. Four of the company’s window and door products have passed BAL-40-related testing, marking a further step in its ongoing product development and performance testing program.

The products tested include the 100 Series non-thermally broken awning window, 100 Series non-thermally broken hinged door, 100 Series non-thermally broken fixed window, and a thermally broken sliding door. These products offer different opening styles and design options for builders, developers, architects and project teams to consider when planning building projects in bushfire-prone areas.

Understanding BAL-40 Requirements

Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) is used in Australia to assess potential bushfire exposure and inform relevant building requirements. BAL-40 represents a high level of bushfire exposure, making appropriate product selection and supporting technical documentation important considerations for projects in designated bushfire-prone areas.

The successful testing of these four products expands Jolong’s range of products with relevant bushfire-related test results, providing additional options for consideration in suitable building applications.

Four Products, More Options for Project Design

The tested products cover three non-thermally broken systems from the 100 Series and one thermally broken sliding door.

From awning and fixed windows to hinged and sliding doors, this range supports different architectural layouts and functional requirements. The inclusion of a thermally broken sliding door also adds another system option for projects where thermal design and sliding-door functionality are important considerations.

The testing results relate to the specific products and configurations documented in the relevant test reports. Product selection for individual projects should take into account the applicable test documentation, product specifications, installation details and relevant building requirements.

Continuing to Support the Australian Building Industry

Jolong Windows & Doors recognises the importance of product development and technical performance in Australia’s demanding building environment. The company continues to invest in product development and relevant testing to broaden its aluminium window and door solutions for residential and commercial projects.

The testing of these four products represents further progress in Jolong’s work on window and door systems for bushfire-related applications. Jolong will continue to engage with Australian builders, developers, architects and industry partners, providing a broader range of product options to support project planning and specification.
