Why do we sell ember guards?
Whirlybird Ember Guard was created and is run by a firefighter who saw firsthand how homes are lost during bushfires from embers entering roof spaces through areas like unprotected whirlybird roof vents.
After attending fires where otherwise defendable homes were destroyed by bushfire ember attack, the need for simple, effective solutions became clear. The whirlybird ember guard was developed to close one of the critical vulnerabilities, without compromising on ventilation.
Designed and made with Australian conditions in mind, our whirlybird ember guards are manufactured from durable 304 stainless steel and meet the requirements of AS3959. They are a practical, affordable upgrade for anyone looking to improve their home’s bushfire safety and ember protection.
This product was born from real-world experience, not marketing — and remains focused on one goal: helping homes stand a better chance when bushfires threaten.
We believe improving bushfire safety should be straightforward and affordable. That’s why we focus on practical products that address real vulnerabilities, starting with whirlybird ember protection.
