Protect Your Home from Bushfire

The most common way a home is lost in a bushfire is when heat and burning embers burst the windows. Our BAL‑FZ Bushfire Shutters use durable stainless-steel interlocking slats to shield windows from flying embers and debris​. Each shutter is CSIRO-tested to meet the strict AS1530.8.2 flame-zone standard, surviving at least 30 minutes of direct flame contact​. That means during a fire, your windows stay protected much longer - giving you and your family precious extra time.

In our local bushfire-prone areas, these shutters act as a barrier against radiant heat, smoke and flying embers. When fully closed, they dramatically reduce heat transfer into your home and stop embers that could otherwise ignite curtains or furniture​ Because they’re built tough and tested, you can trust our products to keep out the worst of a bushfire.

We are the only brand in Australia whose BAL-FZ Warrior Shutter system has passed AS1530.8.2 testing without anything  behind the shutter. This means;
1. Standard glass and frames can be used behind our shutters
2. No need for costly fire-rated glazing upgrades
3. Significant savings on windows and door systems
-> Simpler compliance for builders and faster approvals

By choosing Bushfire Control, you’re not just getting top-tier protection—you’re also saving thousands on unnecessary glazing upgrades that others on the market may require to be compliant.
