The RAL 2 Special is designed for bushfire areas and suitable for bushfire attack level 40.
An alternative to traditional style square housing, RAL Homes’ RAL 2 comprises a 0.60 curved BHP (Stramit) Colorbond roofing which extends to the base of the house, which makes it highly energy efficient in terms of heating and cooling and effective in a bushfire situation.
The curved exterior of the home reduces the areas for debris and embers to attach to during a fire.
The home is built on a concrete slab or a steel sub-floor and the underside of flooring is lined with insulation and cement sheet.
The shell insulation has a flammability index less than 5 and covers all timber panels and framing under the roofing.
All windows and sliding doors have a minimum of 5 mm toughened glass and stainless steel mesh screens, which can be further protected by fitting bushfire shutters. The windows are fire resistant to BAL 40 kw/sqm and supplied by Stegbar.
The RAL 2 Special also has recessed steel rainwater gutters which reduce build up of leaves and flammable foliage.
The system gives home owners the option of extending the home down the track by purchasing additional components and adding them to the existing home. The homes are mostly self supporting, meaning non-load bearing internal partition walls can be added or removed to create new rooms as need be.
