Fire Protection

If you live in an area that is prone to bushfires, it is imperative that you take all the necessary preventative measure to ensure that you have ample protection against a bushfire.

The most vulnerable part of any home is the glass windows. Fire embers may break through the glass and start a fire inside your home.

What can also happen when there is a fire near your home, you get what is called radiant heat from the fire. Even if the fire is more than a kilometre away, the wind will carry the radiant heat across to your home and break the glass from your windows.

That wind flash will only need to have a temperature of around 55º Celsius and it will break the glass. The reason that this happens, is that the temperature inside your home would be around 15-20º lower than the wind flash, and this then causes the glass to break.

With Ultimate Shutter, we have the perfect solution: our Roller Shutters. They are fitted directly in front of your windows, concealing all the glass area, therefore preventing the flying embers from hitting your windows, and hence and excellent fire protection barrier.

Testing
Manufactured from aluminium with a baked enamel coated paint finish, they are injected with polyurethane foam which acts as an insulator & suppressor for heat & cold. This therefore makes it unbelievably resistant to fire as well as heat up to temperatures of 800º Celsius before it breaks down.

Our shutter material has also been tested by CSIRO in 2003.

Further Testing was performed in 2010 after new regulations.

Again CSIRO conducted testing and gave our extrduded material BAL40 Rating.

Stage 2 Fire Retardant System
We also have our Stage 2 Fire Retardant System which, when applied with our fire protection Roller Shutters, will give your home the next level of protection.

With this system, we flash and fill all gaps, where the roller shutters is applied in front of the window, large and small. This means that you have more protection against radiant heat breaking your glass.

If the fire front is closer than 1km away from your home and once your glass breaks, the chances of your home catching fire is far greater.
