When it comes to safeguarding properties in high-risk environments—especially those prone to bushfires or industrial hazards—proactive protection is key. Fire-rated shutters are a vital investment for both homes and businesses that require an extra level of security, durability, and compliance. At Security Plus Shutters, Doors & Blinds, we’re passionate about helping Australian families and business owners feel protected, free to move, and free to do—no matter where they are.
Fire-rated shutters are specially engineered window and door coverings designed to resist extreme heat and flame penetration. These shutters are constructed with durable, heat-resistant materials and tested to meet strict Australian standards like AS3959 for bushfire-prone areas.
They serve a dual function: acting as a physical barrier against embers, radiant heat, and flames, while also contributing to overall building insulation and security.

Security Plus fire-rated shutters comply with AS3959-2009 (Clauses 3.7 & 8.5.1)—the Australian Bushfire Construction Standard. This ensures your installation meets local council and insurance requirements for building in bushfire-prone areas.
Built from aluminium alloy with a double-wall extruded profile, our fire-rated shutters are designed for long-term performance. They resist corrosion, abrasion, and deformation even under intense heat.
Besides their fire protection capabilities, these shutters contribute to your home’s insulation. They help retain heat during winter and block solar gain during summer—making them a smart all-season investment.
Our fire-rated shutters are available with a range of operation options:
They can span openings up to 4000mm wide, making them suitable for both residential windows and large commercial applications.
Wherever there's elevated risk, fire-rated shutters can make all the difference in preserving life, property, and business continuity.
