Before you get a quote

Four things to know first

  • Shutters are one part of the house CSIRO's Bushfire best practice guide names windows and doors as another vulnerable part of the house, and says non-combustible shutters protect against flame contact, embers and strikes from flying objects. It makes no claim that a shutter makes a house safe.
  • The RFS lists simple steps too The NSW Rural Fire Service lists installing fine metal mesh screens on windows and doors, fitting seals around doors and windows to eliminate gaps, and cleaning gutters among the ways to prepare a home.
  • A licence line applies over A$5,000 NSW requires a contractor licence for building or trade work valued above A$5,000 in labour and materials, GST included. Because NSW has no category for shutters, ask whoever quotes which licence the work is done under.
  • A plan is more than a shutter The RFS says a Neighbourhood Safer Place is a place of last resort, and that travelling to or sheltering at one does not guarantee your safety.
