FAQ
Bushfire shutters are specially designed window and door coverings that provide protection against the intense heat, embers, and debris associated with bushfires. Made from durable, fire-resistant materials such as aluminium, installed correctly these shutters help safeguard homes by creating a barrier against flames and radiant heat. Our bushfire shutters have been tested to meet stringent Australian standards, ensuring they offer reliable protection in bushfire-prone areas while also enhancing security and insulation for your home.
Bushfire shutters provide a versatile solution for both everyday use and emergency protection. In normal conditions, they operate like standard roller shutters, offering security, privacy, and control over temperature, light and airflow. During a bushfire, they can be lowered to create a protective barrier that blocks radiant heat, flames, and embers from entering your home. Our bushfire shutters are equipped with a manual override system, ensuring they remain operable even during a blackout. This dual functionality helps protect your property in bushfire-prone areas while also enhancing your home’s security and energy efficiency in day-to-day use.
The Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating is a measure used to assess the risk of bushfire exposure to buildings. BAL 29 and BAL 40 indicate different levels of risk and corresponding requirements for construction in those areas
BAL 29 signifies a moderate to high risk of exposure to embers, radiant heat, and potential flame contact. Buildings in this category require materials and construction methods that can withstand a radiant heat flux of up to 29 kW/m². BAL 29 roller shutters provide robust protection against embers and moderate levels of radiant heat.
BAL 40 indicates a high risk of exposure, with increased requirements to resist radiant heat up to 40 kW/m². In addition to embers and radiant heat, there is a higher likelihood of direct flame contact. BAL 40 roller shutters are designed to offer enhanced protection, meeting more stringent construction standards and able to withstand greater levels of heat and flame exposure.
The Australian standard for bushfire shutters is AS 3959, which outlines the construction requirements to protect buildings from bushfire attacks. This standard specifies the performance criteria and material specifications that shutters must meet to provide effective protection against embers, radiant heat, and direct flame contact. Bushfire shutters must be tested and certified to ensure they can withstand the conditions outlined for various ‘Bushfire Attack Levels’, ensuring safety and compliance in bushfire-prone areas.
In the event of a bushfire, Titan’s state-of-the-art motorised drive system is safer and more convenient; allowing you to operate the shutter with the push of a button from inside your property.
Titan’s electric operating system allows you to choose from a switch on the wall, a remote control, or both; and for commercial applications, or where required under regulations, an additional uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and/or manual override capability can be added to ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of a power outage.
It’s almost impossible to make a property completely bushfire proof, but there are measures that can be taken to significantly reduce the risk and increase your home’s resilience.
Be sure to clear vegetation within 30 metres of your house to create a buffer zone. Install ember guards or screens over vents, gaps and other openings.
Use fire-resistant materials during construction (brick or steel) and avoid highly combustible materials for the roof, external walls or windows (e.g. wood).
Seal any openings with Titan’s bushfire shutters.
Ensure there’s an easily accessible water supply to fight fires.
Finally, have an evacuation plan and always consult with local fire authorities or professionals experienced in bushfire safety who can tailor strategies to your specific location and circumstances.
