Can anyone recommend a decent company in Sydney to deal with? Looking for roller shutters to cover various windows & doors that completely close up and that…

Thanks.
A quick Google shows that most can do it as long as it's during build time .

Hi Ryan ,
We're still in council. About 10 months and counting... all down to bushfire challenges... ::hyst::

Looks like you struck it lucky with your consultant - has the building been certified yet? I've been speaking to the RFS regularly and one thing that is clear…

BAL 40 can have 5mm toughened glass, BAL FZ needs at least 6mm toughened. Also, aluminium is out of the equation as it melts too quickly . Thus…

Hi Ryan,
Those quotes were actually direct from 2 window manufacturers, not the builders.

Building in BAL Flame Zone (FZ)

Paarhammer, NilFire, and Miglas are 3 companies that spring to mind which have met BAL FZ and don't require shutters over their glass. But yes, in general, most current…
