For a Ferntree Gully home, exposure, access and the setting can vary from one address to another. The shutter brief should start with the actual site rather than a blanket assumption about the suburb.
ShieldCo can assess the nominated windows and explain its proposed fit. If the homeowner has a bushfire-related requirement, the exact product documentation and applicable property requirements need to be checked; a general shutter description is not enough.
This guide makes no claim that a particular property needs a specific fire rating. Its recommendation is to raise any such requirement before ordering, along with access, power and the intended everyday use.
Three things to discuss
- Discuss the actual site conditions
- Raise any required product certification early
- Confirm access for installation and servicing
