Fire Hardening Vent Mesh Designed for Ember Protection

Protect vulnerable ventilation openings with Phifer EmberScreen Aluminum Vent Mesh — an advanced ember-resistant screening solution engineered to help reduce the risk of airborne ember intrusion during wildfire events.

Designed with a proprietary flame-resistant coating over durable aluminum mesh, EmberScreen Vent Mesh provides critical protection for some of the most vulnerable areas of a home, including vents, eaves, roof assembly gaps, gutter covers, and under-decking spaces. This high-performance mesh is specifically engineered to block more embers than traditional vent mesh while still maintaining the airflow necessary for proper home ventilation.

Ideal for homes located in wildfire-prone regions and Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones, EmberScreen Vent Mesh supports modern fire hardening strategies and complies with California Building Code Chapter 7A requirements for ember-resistant venting applications.  

Engineered to Help Defend Against Ember Intrusion

Wind-driven embers are one of the leading causes of home ignition during wildfires. EmberScreen Aluminum Vent Mesh is carefully woven to help minimize ember penetration through critical ventilation openings without restricting essential airflow.

Ideal applications include:

• Foundation vents
• Attic vents
• Soffits and eaves
• Roof assembly gaps
• Gutter protection systems
• Under-decking areas
• Crawl space ventilation

• Exterior venting systems

Its tighter mesh pattern helps block dangerous embers while outperforming traditional vent mesh products commonly used in residential construction.

Built for Wildfire-Prone Environments

Phifer EmberScreen Aluminum Vent Mesh was developed to help homeowners, contractors, and builders strengthen vulnerable exterior openings against ember intrusion during wildfire conditions.

While no screening product can completely stop fire, EmberScreen helps create a critical delay mechanism that may slow fire spread and provide valuable additional response time during emergency situations.

Its lightweight yet durable aluminum construction makes installation simple while offering reliable long-term performance in demanding climates.

Maximum Airflow Without Sacrificing Protection

Traditional vent mesh products often leave larger openings that can allow embers to enter attic spaces, crawl spaces, and roof assemblies. EmberScreen’s tighter weave is designed to reduce ember penetration while still allowing homes to breathe properly and maintain essential ventilation performance.

This balance of airflow and ember defense makes it an ideal solution for fire-conscious residential construction and retrofit projects.
