Scientifically tested and compliant, the flame zone BAL FZ window shutters offer thermal benefits and noise suppression with motorised use, adaptable to smartphone controls. Installations are suitable for new buildings, retrofittings, large windows or door openings in a wide range of colours.
Aluminium and stainless steel roller shutter slats offer the best available protection for fire zone windows and doors. When the BAL FZ window shutters are closed, it will stop fire from getting into your home and block ember and debris from sneaking in.
