Design for Bushfire safety


I was reading a steel magazine "Stramit" about the RAL kit houses which are not only designed to be energy efficient, and easy to construct but have a high tolerance to surviving bushfires. Two RAL homes survived bushfires in the Grampians intact which was a great surprise to the firefighters who expected them to be in ruins.


I am impressed to see such an innovative Australian design, the only shame is that they aren't particularly attractive from the outside.
