Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 May 18, 2010 8:44 pm Hello, We're extending our house and are in a bushfire prone area, zoned level 3. We're hoping to put in bifold doors, but our development consent states that the openable portions of all windows and doors must be screened using mesh with a maximum apperture of 2mm made of corrosion resistant steel or bronze. Does anyone know of a Company who supplies screens adhering to these requirements for bi-fold systems? I've been searching and searching but haven't come up with any as yet... Thanks in advance Re: Fire resistant screens for bifold doors 2May 19, 2010 4:45 pm Hi we are also in a firezone BAL 40 Im pretty sure instead of a screen you can have a roller shutter above the door that way you dont need a screen on it.. All of our doors and windows have roller shutters I did opt to have fly screens but they were not compulsory due to the roller shutters I hope this helps SOots viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31037 harvard 27 DFH signed contract 16th March 2010 slab down 1st June 2010 frame started 8th June 2010 trusses and frame finished 24th June 2010 tiles almost done 14th July 2010 Bricks started 14th July 2010 Plaster started 28th July 2010 Paint 25th August 2010 Re: Fire resistant screens for bifold doors 3May 21, 2010 11:54 am Hi,
I also live in a bushfire prone area. Although slightly off topic I have just fitted my home with a range of Raven door seals to help protect against ember attack. If your interested refer to link below.

They do a special range of BAL 40 windows and I think perhaps there's some doors included? Building on an acre in Macedon ......one day. Hi everyone.
