Cost FAQs
ROI varies. For suburban Adelaide with twice-yearly cleaning at $250/visit ($500/year), $4,000 in guards pays back over 8 years if cleaning reduces to every 3 years. For Hills bushfire zones, the ember-protection value is harder to monetise but matters during fire season.
For suburban: steel or aluminium 4-5mm aperture - good balance of cost and effectiveness. For Hills BAL zones: aluminium 1.8mm ember mesh - AS3959-aligned. Avoid plastic for any property near trees or in fire zones.
No. Leaves still rot on top and debris collects under valley folds. Frequency drops from twice-yearly to every 2-3 years typically. Plastic products clog or degrade in 3-7 years.
