Bush Fire Roller Shutters
Protect Your Home! Protect Your Family With Bushfire Roller Shutters!
As more and more Australians move to country and semi-rural areas for a better lifestyle, and our urban sprawl takes homeowners closer to wooded and high vegetation areas, protection from bushfires has become increasingly important in Australia.
Add to that the recent devastation of bushfires in many states across Australia, and it becomes vital that we help protect Australian families and their homes from bushfires.
Recently, a new Bushfire Construction Standard AS3959-2009 has been implemented, detailing minimum standards for building and construction in bushfire areas. This standard is now mandatory in some states of Australia.
It is for these reasons that we offer the FireSafe™ Bushfire Rated Roller Shutter.

Shutters FAQs

- Roller
- Motorised sunroof systems
- External aluminium

Here at Windsor Blinds and Awnings, we offer a wide variety of shutters to ensure we have the right product for your needs. For example, we offer bush fire roller shutters that add an extra layer of defence to your home in a worst-case scenario. These shutters help to offer protection from extreme heat or flying debris in the case of a bush fire and can be fitted in both private homes and public buildings.
We also have Solar Smart Roller Shutters which offer remote control operation but without the environmental cost or the extra addition to your energy bill. Instead, rely on the sun to power your new shutters and do your part to help the environment.
If none of these is what you are looking for, rest assured that we have many more kinds of shutters and you are sure to find the perfect fit for you by browsing the shutter section of our website.
Do your shutter fold easily?
Some low-quality shutters can be jagged or difficult to open and close. You don’t have to worry about that when it comes to Windsor Blinds and Awnings since we do everything we can to deliver you a top-quality product. Our shutters are efficient and easy to use so the simple action you undertake every day, opening and closing your shutters, is one of ease rather than frustration.
What materials do you offer?
There are various materials that your shutters could be made out of depending on the kind you choose. Some of our shutters are made from aluminium, for example, since it is very durable and can withstand UV. This makes them a great option for outdoor use as they are fairly resistant to sun exposure. Other options include basswood timber shutters which are much more visually pleasing but are also greatly efficient as insulators. This means you can keep the temperature inside just how you like it. Enjoy a cosy room in the winter or a cool, relaxing space to combat the summer. No matter your preference, we have the material for you.
Are your shutters efficient for keeping out light?
It might sound like a strange question, but it is a concern for many. Lots of people find that shutters are not as efficient as curtains when it comes to blocking out the light. And, since this is arguably the main purpose of shutters, it is important to know how well shutters can block light before installing them. While our shutters have lots of other benefits like temperature control, privacy and security, we can also assure you that they are designed to keep out the light so that you have control over how bright your room is too. The last thing you want is the sun bleeding around your shutters which may be distracting when you are trying to work or sleep. If you are still worried about light entering through your window, we offer some custom options and will do everything we can to make sure your shutters are the perfect fit for your space.
