Bushfire protection
Protect vulnerable windows and doors with a heavy-duty roller shutter system built for bushfire-prone properties. Our AE401 Sentry Fireshield system achieved BAL 40 in testing, the second-highest Bushfire Attack Level.
Why it matters
Lowered, the shutter closes over window and door glass.
A heavy-duty system tested under AS 1530.8.1-2007.
Suitable for residential and commercial buildings.
Curtain widths up to 4.6 m and areas up to 12 m².
A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) describes how much ember attack, radiant heat and flame contact a building may be exposed to. BAL 40 is the second-highest level.
The AE401 Sentry Fireshield system achieved BAL 40 when tested in its specified configuration under AS 1530.8.1-2007. The test exposure reached a radiant heat flux of 40 kW/m².
Testing was carried out by CSIRO.
AE401 is a heavy-duty, curved aluminium roller shutter profile — heavier than our standard domestic profile — designed for appropriate bushfire-prone applications and larger openings.
The AE401 is a strong choice if your project includes:

To carry the BAL 40 result, the shutter is supplied and installed to match the tested configuration. Your site's BAL requirement is usually set by a bushfire assessment and your builder or certifier, and we work to it.
Send your BAL assessment, plans and opening sizes with your enquiry and we'll recommend the right set-up for your project.
