FAQ's:
Yes. BAL-FZ rated shutters deliver year-round insulation—keeping the heat out in summer and the cold at bay in winter. They're also designed to reduce glare, control natural light, and shield your windows and doors from storm damage. And when fully closed, they offer complete security, giving you peace of mind in any weather.
While the moving curtain is made from stainless steel and can’t be powder coated, the pelmets and side guides can be finished in any Colorbond® colour. Once the shutter is open, all you’ll see is your chosen Colorbond® shade—creating a seamless look that complements your home’s exterior.
Our BAL-FZ rated shutters are crafted from premium 304-grade stainless steel—naturally resistant to salt exposure. Premier Shades proudly offers this high-grade, salt-resistant option to help extend the lifespan of your shutters, especially in coastal or salt-prone environments.
Spring-assisted manual shutters are available for select applications. Due to operation limits, they’re recommended only for small-size shutters installed at ground level.
To ensure a smooth and compliant installation, we recommend sending your plans to Premier Shades before ordering your windows. Our team is always happy to review and highlight any potential issues early on—helping you avoid costly adjustments and ensuring your windows and shutters meet certification requirements.
BAL-FZ means 'Bushfire Attack Level - Flame Zone' and is the highest level of protection against bushfire. A Bushfire Consultant will specify the BAL level for a new build or major alteration as part of the development process. BAL-40 is a level of bushfire risk below BAL-FZ.
BAL-FZ is the highest risk of bushfire protection and the products used to protect against fire risk are custom made. The average price per BAL-FZ motorised roller shutter installed is $3,000-$4,000.
