Frequently Asked Questions

What are ember screens and how do they work?

Ember screens are fine metal mesh installed over vents, eaves, and other openings. They prevent wind-blown embers the leading cause of home ignition during wildfires from entering your home.

Are ember screens required by California building codes?

Yes, new construction in high-fire zones must meet ember-resistant vent standards. For existing homes, ember screens are strongly recommended and can improve compliance with insurance and fire safety requirements.

What materials are your ember screens made from?

We use high-quality, fire-resistant metal mesh (such as stainless steel) that can withstand extreme heat and weather, ensuring long-lasting protection.

How long does installation take?

Most homes can be fully fitted in a single day, depending on the size and number of vents.

Do ember screens require maintenance?

They require minimal upkeep, just occasional cleaning to remove dust, leaves, or debris. We also offer annual inspections to ensure everything is in top shape.
