Pentvilla homes are built using a concrete slab, walls and roof. This design requires low maintenance and provides better thermal conditions. Since concrete does not ignite, burn or release flammable gases, it adheres to best-practice guidelines for bushfire safety in Australia. Additionally, Concrete construction generally remains intact even if the internal lining, windows or contents are damaged (unless metal shutters are installed). As a result, homeowners can expect better insurance outcomes, allowing them to return home sooner after an inspection by authorities and minor repair. This minimises displacement and reduces the need for long-term emergency accommodation.
