We found a solution for the front entrance door that didn't blow out our budget. We bought a standard wooden fire door and laminated a stainless steel sheet over it on the outside. This meets the arcane BAL FZ conditions, and cost only $500.

It has taken this long and we are still working on a solution for the front door. The commercial options are: (1) Use a glass/steel door from one of the BAL FZ manufacturers that doesn't require a shutter. Looks like an open-plan office door. Cost: over $7000. (2) Use a steel fire door. Looks like a...

Good point, but still not so keen on glass aesthetically. Might have to swallow that pill. But being in the Flame Zone, I think we would need either need a shutter over the glass door (which is not the most welcoming look for a front entrance) or have to spend a small fortune on a glass door that ha...

We want a front door that provides some privacy (so glass is out). Happy with aluminium or steel, assuming it is plain and we can get it in a color we would want. But we dont like the thought of having a metal door AND having to have a metal shutter over it.

We are building in a BAL Flame Zone - would you believe it 10mins from the Sydney CBD! Despite the challenges, we have found a relatively cheap solution for windows and doors, with standard shutters (extra $20k above standard for 12 windows and doors). However, we have been absolutely stumped when i...

We are renovating in a BAL Flame Zone too, but in NSW. We found that it is very important to get an architect/designer that understands the requirements and the additional costs involved with BAL FZ. For instance we got quotes for our windows and doors from one BAL-40 supplier ($30k) and from three ...
