Fire Rated Brush Seals
Get 25% OFF!
The Cleverseal sealing system is the perfect garage door accessory for the summer months. The bristle brushes are designed to seal and protect your garage from driving rain, excess water, draughts, smoke, embers, pests and coastal corrosion. Pair it with the BAL fire rated bristle brush option which also helps delay the onset of fire and your garage and home is protected from all the nasty weather that storm and bushfire season can bring to your door.
We recommend brush seals for those on the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie due to the high levels of coastal corrosion, bushfire smoke that tends to travel over and the higher level of storm activity.
Bonus: The Cleverseal sealing system will help your garage be more energy efficient and help you save money on your power bill especially in the summer months where your air conditioning system may be being used regularly.
Designed, developed and manufactured in Australia and comes with 5 years warranty.

Get in and out when the power is out with Merlin’s battery back-up system. The battery back-up keeps your Merlin automatic opener operating and your garage accessible while the power is out by powering the garage door as if the power was still on!
We recommend this powerful add-on for homes on the Central Coast and Lake Macquarie due to the high number of power outages in storm season and regularly affected areas.

Is your garage door part of your bushfire survival plan?
At Affordable Openings, we are dedicated to garage door safety first and whether you live in or near a bushfire zone, you should always be prepared for the worst. Your garage door is no exception when it comes to preparing your bushfire survival plan. There are steps you can take to aid in preparing and protecting your home the best you can; especially in the case of a potential emergency or evacuation where your family needs to exit quickly.
Your garage door should be part of your bushfire safety plan for three reasons; safety, ease of access and peace of mind.
Preparing for a quick getaway:
If you keep your car in the garage, you’ll want to ensure you can get out quickly; you can do this by keeping your garage door and automatic opener in safe working condition. We recommend getting your garage door serviced every 3-5 years and if you haven’t had routine maintenance completed, we recommend a safety check.
Preparing for power outages:
Power outages and bushfires can happen at the same time.
Educating your family:
Does your family and your children know where the manual release cord is, how to use it and how to be safe around a garage door when operating it in the case of an emergency? If you’re not sure how to use your manual release cord, we recommend you reach out to us and we’ll be more than happy to help you understand your manual release system.
*If your manual release cord looks as though it has frayed or snapped off, we recommend getting it replaced by a professional.
If you do need to leave quickly knowing you can exit stress free through your garage will give you peace of mind!
