With Australian urban population areas being pushed ever closer to bushfire-prone areas, awareness and understanding of building loss through bushfire has become a dominant and high-priority topic for authorities and researchers.

Trend® Windows and Doors has looked at the entire glazing system and, through extensive research and development with CSIRO, has advanced the design of window and door systems to tackle even the most extreme of bushfires.

The Xtreme™ range of products is one of the first window systems in Australia designed to withstand temperatures up to 40 kW without failure from the glazing or the window system itself, helping prevent internal ignition and loss of precious possessions.
