Protecting your house from bushfire attack in the Blue Mountains and Bush with Stainless Steel Window Fire Shutters

Glass windows are the weakest component of any house or business. In regions that are vulnerable to bushfires and fires, as well as during a fire, the heat and embers may shatter your windows and allow smoke to enter your home. Additionally, the fire's heat can shatter windows, exposing your house to intense heat. Our roller shutters will protect you and your house by providing an insulated physical barrier that will prevent embers from penetrating and significantly lower fire heat.

With Australia’s mostly hot, dry climate, the country is prone to bushfire – particularly during the hotter months of the year. The Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, and the Bushfire CRC have noted that the frequency of very high and extreme fire danger is likely to increase 4-25% by 2020, and 15-70% by 2050

Window Protection

Fireshutters Boundary Window Roller Fireshutters can offer an effective and affordable line of defence for your home or business. In the event of a bushfire, the most vulnerable part of your property is the windows. Keeping your windows concealed and protected is critical during a bushfire because you want to avoid a potential point of entry for embers or fire. The windows of your home or business can break during a bushfire for several reasons, but it will typically occur as a result of radiant heat.

Radiant Heat

Radiant heat is essentially the intense heat that radiates from a bushfire. In the right conditions, radiant heat can travel more than a kilometre from the fire source. While radiant heat can be blocked by solid barriers (e.g. stainless steel roller fire shutters, concrete, brick walls), the heat will travel through glass. Under the right conditions, radiant heat can crack and break glass windows. This occurs because the temperature inside your home would typically be fifteen to twenty degrees lower than the exterior; this temperature differential is which causes the glass to break.
