Stop Fire Embers at the Source.
Protect What Matters Most.
Innovative, patented product solutions for homes that keep embers out and stop fire from entering your home.
Vulnerability
The Hidden Threat of Wildfires Starts at Your Vents.
During a wildfire, most homes don’t catch fire from direct flames—but from burning embers entering attic and crawlspace vents.
As wildfires rage, they send burning embers flying ahead of the flame front—sometimes for miles. These embers enter your home through unprotected vents in attics, eaves, crawlspaces, and gables.
Inside, the embers settle on insulation, dust, and stored belongings. All it takes is one smoldering ember to ignite a chain reaction. By the time flames are visible outside, it’s often too late.

Home Hardening
Features and benefits of our patented design.
Home hardening is a critical factor in improving the survivability of structures during wildfires. All homes have vulnerable “points of entry” that must be sealed to avoid hot embers and fire from entering the structure.
BrandGuard has a unique, patented solution to prevent embers from entering your home.
Resistant by design
An overlapping baffle design with 1/16” mesh on the back side allows air to move freely but traps embers and prevents them from entering the structure.
Self-Closing technology
When exposed to high temperatures and flames, BrandGuard’s self-closing intumescent technology expands and seals off the entry point.
Non-Combustible Material
Non-combustible, 26ga Grade 90 vents which resist heat and flames.
The combination of these three technologies helps to protect your home in the event of a wildfire, increasing the survivability ratio of the structures.

ABOUT US
We’ve spent over 20 years engineering vents that protect homes, families, and communities from wildfire devastation.
Invented in 2003 by firefighter Brent Berkompas, BrandGuard Vents was inspired by the 2003 and 2007 California wildfires that Berkompas witnessed first-hand. With the vulnerability of California homes fresh in his mind, Berkompas watched embers fly directly into properties through unprotected mesh vent openings and realized that something needed to be done to prevent this from happening again.
