Are Rollashield BAL FZ shutters tested to the latest standard?
Yes. Rollashield BAL FZ shutters passed the test AS1530.4-2018 at CSIRO in Sydney with a single panel of 5mm toughened glass in an openable window.
CSIRO is a NATA accredited facility. Therefore our shutters meet all criteria and will satisfy every certifier.
Can BAL FZ shutters be used as everyday shutters?
Yes. BAL FZ shutters are fantastic insulators in heat and cold. They can also be used to regulate glare, light and offer storm protection for your windows and doors. BAL FZ shutters are also full security shutters when in the down position.
Do BAL FZ shutters automatically deploy in a fire?
No they do not. BAL FZ shutters are individually operated with an internal switch. They also have a manual override option to wind the shutter down in case of power outage. If the shutter is not accessible from outside, a UPS back up battery can be installed so the shutter is operable in case of power outage.
How much space do I need above my windows to fit a shutter?
Up to 300mm is required above the glazed window or door to accommodate the housing of the shutter. The overall height of the shutter determines the size of the pelmets which range from 230mm – 300mm.
