But as more Australian families settle into increasingly wooded and high vegetation areas, the closer they come to high bushfire flame zones. Now more than ever, protecting your home from bushfires is paramount to your family’s safety.
Thanks to our country’s hot, dry climate, Australia is the most fire-prone country in the world. In fact, it’s estimated that fire services respond to between 45,000 and 60,000 bushfires in Australia each year. In 2020 alone, over 3,500 homes were destroyed in bushfires.
With statistics like these, it’s hard to ignore the need for increased bushfire protection. Which is why the Australian Bushfire Construction Standard (AS3959-2018) was created. Now new houses that are built and constructed in bushfire zones must meet certain high standards. Thankfully, this is enforced across several states in Australia – with South Australia being one of them.
In response to the new Bushfire Construction Standards and the increased need for bushfire protection systems, CW Shutters was dedicated to creating the ultimate fire-rated roller shutter – designed with your family’s protection in mind.
At CW Shutters, we’re committed to helping protect your home from Australian bushfires. So when it comes to ensuring the safety and functionality of our FireSafeTM bushfire rated shutters, only the most thorough and strenuous testing will do.
Tested by the CSIRO at their testing facility (Report# FSZ1379), Our bushfire shutters were subjected to radiant heat as severe as 40kW/m2 which simulates a standard bushfire attack. Our shutters passed the test with flying colours – and also achieved a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) of A40 when fully closed.
Our FireSafeTM Roller Shutters also comply with the Australian Bushfire Construction Standard (AS3959-2018), clauses 3.7 and 8.5.1. Results like these make our bushfire rated roller shutters one of the safest on the Australian market.
Flying debris can crash through your windows during a fire which can damage your home – or worse, injure someone in your family.
We designed our FireSafeTM Roller Shutters to have a heavy-duty, extra-strong 36mm, double wall extruded profile that not only offers protection against out of control flying objects, but also gives it a BAL of A40.
But don’t be fooled – just because our fire shutters are heavy-duty, doesn’t mean that they’re clunky. The FireSafeTM Roller Shutters have a tight shutter roll that ensures a small pelmet and sleek, modern appearance.
We also give you choices to complement your home by offering the widest range of the latest contemporary colours.
Make life easy and motorise your FireSafeTM Roller Shutters for easy operation. But with bushfires, often come the power cuts. What if you and your family find yourselves trapped and surrounded by fire?
That’s why our motorised FireSafeTM Roller Shutters come with a manual override function. This ensures that your fire shutter is always operational in the event of a fire or mains power failure.
Our low-maintenance bushfire rated shutters will remain functional and operational for many years to come – all thanks to its heavy-duty aluminium construction and internal sealed bearings.
Feel confident that your bushfire roller shutters aren’t a cheap knock off from an untrustworthy company. All of our FireSafeTM shutters are fitted with an Authentication Plate with a Serial Number to ensure that our bushfire shutters are genuine products with a product performance that meets Australian guidelines.

CW Shutters are Australian made and the quality is terrific! The roller shutters do everything that you want them to do. In my own home I want to be very comfortable but I also want to be secure, and I also don’t like the heat and do like to be cool. CW Shutters deliver what I need and are really good quality. I love my CW Shutters!
We’ve been broken into a couple of times and had our windows broken. We looked at all the security options, but security roller shutters probably made the most sense. It wasn’t about price, it was about quality. The strength of the aluminium and durability of the roller shutters made it an easy choice. I can go home, leave the business and know it is secure!
We’re really happy with our CW Shutters. We have shutters in our baby room that really help with light control at sleep time. With our shutters, we are less exposed to the elements, protected and we can control the environment. They look great and there’s a great selection of colours. Privacy and security is important for the families and children we care for. I’d absolutely recommend CW Shutters!
My wife and I highly recommend CW Shutters to anyone looking to improve their home, to improve light control and to improve thermal efficiency of their home. Having looked at many different products, we found CW Shutters to be of very high quality, unobtrusive and very minimalist. We love living with CW Shutters, they’re an absolute pleasure to come home to. We just wish we’d done it sooner!
CW Shutters have changed our life! As a family we work shift work and a good nights sleep means everything to us. CW Shutters have cut down noise, help us keep the house warm during winter and keep the house cool when it is hot. The pelmets are really small and they operate really smoothly at the push of a button. CW Shutters complement our home!
