HEROAL 35-YEAR PARTNER Expert Guidance & Compliance FAQ
Transparent answers about bushfire protection, CSIRO testing methodology, and the engineering standards that separate us from the rest.
Yes, our Heroal stainless steel shutters are actually designed for everyday use, just like any other domestic shutter (heat/cold, light, noise, security). The difference is that these shutters have also passed stringent testing at the CSIRO to comply with AS1530.8.2 and AS3959:2018.
It’s never too early to commit us to your project and to lock in a price as material costs continue to rise. The earlier we receive a deposit, the less you’ll pay. In terms of construction, when the external walls are up, we can measure.
Yes, after commissioning we issue you with a BAL-FZ Compliance Certificate.
There’s a variety of exclusions that you can elect to make that can significantly decrease the overall price of your shutters. These include but are not limited to:
- Larger windows rather than more smaller windows
- Making some shutters manual to save on the costs of motors
- Combining windows so that one shutter can cover multiple openings saving money on installation and motor costs
- Engaging your own electrician
- Supplying your own UPS battery back up system

Heroal, the engineers of the stainless steel slats do not paint/powdercoat their slats due to:
– quality (delamination of paint)
– safety (harmful fumes in the protected area and the CSIRO stipulating painted slats are non-compliant)
In order to keep the shutter system we install on your home consistent with the compliant shutter we tested at the CSIRO, we are unable to paint the shutter slats.
137mm – 205mm – dependent on height, axle diameter, deflection and width.
