Misconception vs Reality 🔥
One of the most common misconceptions we hear is:
"My vents already have mesh. That means embers can't get inside my home."
The reality is that not all vent mesh is designed to resist wildfire embers - and when it is, it does not offer the same level of protection as ember-resistant vents. During a wildfire, embers can exploit vulnerable openings and become a serious threat to your home.
Understanding the difference between standard vents with mesh and purpose-designed ember-resistant vents is an important part of creating a more wildfire-resilient property.
