FIRE PROTECTION
MicroLouvre™ FHA Screens are the only whole window covering to combine A1/A2 Fire Performance (essential for all high rise buildings and Bush Fire Protection) with the highest combined performance for:
Solar Shading | Solar Heat Gain protection | Class 4 Daylighting | Class 4 Outward Vision | 100% natural light CRI
80% Open Area | Privacy & Security | Energy Saving | Hurricane wind proof | +40 years longevity
EASY TO INTEGRATE AND RETRO-FIT
MicroLouvre™ FHA Screens are a passive, easily installed and moveable whole window solar shading system. The specially angled, bronze louvres are the perfect solution for reflecting heat, as was shown by the industry leading 49.4% attenuation achieved when tested by CSIRO. Not only does MicroLouvre™ FHA Screens provide the highest amount of heat attenuation, at 80%, they also have twice the open area of other FHA screens, making it practically invisible to occupants on the inside giving them perfect, unobscured outward vision.

Fires in high rise buildings are tragically becoming more commonplace and England Building (Amendment) Regulation 2018 requires that any attachment to an external wall is A1 or A2-s1, d0.
MicroLouvre™ is the only all-in-one, multi-function window covering system to meet these changes.
MicroLouvre™ FHA Metal Fabric and MicroLouvre FHA Screens and fittings are made from EuroClass A1 (the fabric itself) and EuroClass A1/A2-s1,d0 : BS EN 13501 (the screens) components.
The MicroLouvre™ FHA bushfire screen incorporates specially angled louvres that are only 1.2mm thick. The innovative louvre design prevents flame penetration from ember attacks and burning debris.
Testing was performed with industry leading results at the CSIRO. As the louvres are spaced 2mm apart, the MicroLouvre™ FHA bushfire screen provides protection to AS3959 up to BAL-FZ plus complete solar shading and fire protection of a whole window up to BAL-19.
