Bush Fire Blockout Roller Shutters from Blockout Industries

When it comes to your house in bushfires, your doors, windows and glass areas are highly vulnerable to the effects of Bushfires. Radiant heat can shatter glass area, allowing flames to enter a building quickly and spread to internal fittings such as curtains and blinds. Other effects created by bushfires such as wind and turbulence carry debris that can shatter windows before a fire arrives.

Government agencies such as the Australian Standards ( AS 3959-1999), Councils, The Rural Fire Services and Local Fire Authorities now advise that properties located in bushfire zoned areas should install products such as Blockout Roller Shutters on all doors and windows for extra protection.

Blockout Blinds Aluminium Roller Shutters, along with its exclusive rigid interlocking system, will reduce the effects of bushfires such as;

- Stopping scorching heat and flames from entering building.
- Preventing window or door glass areas from shattering.
- Stopping internal fittings such as curtains and other soft furnishings from igniting.
- Reducing the risk of ash build up on window frames.
- Sealing the property from penetrating fumes.
- Restraining the spread of the fire by preventing the escape of oxygen.

In addition, Blockouts's standard roller shutters use roll formed aluminium profiles filled with a very dense, non-flammable polyurethane insulating foam core. This provides an extra level of fire insulating and unlike PVC profiles, they do not give off a poisonous gas when burning or melting.
