The Modwood Flame Shield range is composite decking built for bushfire-prone areas. Certified for use in BAL-12.5 through to BAL-40 zones, with the natural timber look and low maintenance you’d expect from Modwood.
Benefits of Modwood Flame Shield Composite Decking

- Specially formulated with a fire-retardent in the design
- R11 slip resistance rating to AS 4586:2013

Description
For homeowners in bushfire-prone areas, decking choices have historically been limited and often uninspiring. The Modwood Flame Shield range changes that. Specially formulated with a fire retardant additive and tested to AS 3959-2018, it’s certified for use across BAL-12.5, BAL-19, BAL-29 and BAL-40 bushfire attack level zones.
Key Features of Modwood Flame Shield Decking
- Tested and certified to AS 3959-2018 across BAL-12.5 to BAL-40
- Protection against ember attack and burning debris from wind-borne embers
- Deep embossed surface with R11 slip resistance to AS 4586:2013
- Compatible with both enclosed and unenclosed substructures
- Australian-made from up to 90% recycled and reclaimed materials
Why choose Modwood Flame Shield?
If your property sits in a designated bushfire attack level zone, your decking choice needs to meet the requirements set out under AS 3959-2018. Flame Shield is one of very few decking products on the market that can do that while still delivering the warmth and texture of a natural timber finish. The R11 slip rating makes it practical for outdoor walkways and patios, and the composite construction means it won’t demand the ongoing maintenance that traditional timber would.
As a part of the Flame Shield ModWood decking range – these boards are not fully capped and may weather over time due to the wood content inside the boards. This means that similarly to timber decking, the boards could grey over a long time span (many years). For a fully capped composite board that won’t fade – choose the Xtreme Guard Modwood Decking.

FAQs
What makes Flame Shield different from standard Modwood decking?

What BAL ratings is Modwood Flame Shield certified for?
Flame Shield can be used in BAL-12.5, BAL-19, BAL-29 and BAL-40 rated areas.
Can I install it with an enclosed subframe?
Yes. Flame Shield can be installed with either an enclosed or unenclosed substructure, giving flexibility depending on your site and design requirements.
Does Flame Shield have an anti-slip surface?

What length does this board come in?

Are these boards still low maintenance like standard Modwood?
Yes. No oiling, staining or sealing required. A periodic sweep and wash-down is all that's needed.
How is Modwood Flame Shield fire resistant?
A fire retardant additive is incorporated into the board composition during manufacturing. It's not a surface coating, so it won't wear off over time.
