Apollo NZ Global/Weather Protection/Complete-Building Protection

Hurricane · Cyclone · Severe-weather protection

Protect more than the windows. Protect the building.

Apollo NZ Global supplies coordinated protection systems for homes, resorts, apartments, commercial buildings and public facilities in hurricane, cyclone and severe-storm regions. We map the vulnerable openings across the building, then match each one with the most appropriate protection pathway.

Protection system selector

Start with the opening, then choose the system.

Different openings create different engineering, operational and architectural demands. These are the strongest starting pathways, not blanket substitutions for project-specific design.

01Conventional windows

Roll-down, impact, Bahama or Colonial pathways depending on architecture and deployment preference.

Explore system 02Wide sliding doors

Accordion, roll-down or suitable impact sliding-door systems for larger glazed openings.

Explore system 03Entrance doors

Impact door systems where permanent protected access is required.

Explore system 04Garages

Heavy-duty protection selected specifically around the vehicle opening and surrounding structure.

Explore system 05Shopfronts + large openings

Commercial roll-down, impact or specialist large-opening protection.

Explore system 06Plant + service openings

Storm and weather-management louvre pathways where airflow remains necessary.

01Building envelope

One building can need several different protection systems.

A severe-weather strategy should consider windows, entrance doors, sliding doors, balcony openings, garages, shopfronts and service openings as parts of one building envelope.

A coastal villa might use impact windows in bedrooms, accordion shutters across a wide slider, an impact entrance door and a dedicated garage system. A resort can use the same principle at much larger scale.

02System families

Permanent, deployable and specialist protection can work together.

Roll-down and accordion shutters provide permanent deployable protection. Impact windows and doors build protection directly into the opening. Bahama and Colonial shutters add architectural character. Fabric and storm louvres provide specialist pathways where rigid shutters are not the right answer.

03Project method

MAP → MATCH → VERIFY → INTEGRATE → MAINTAIN.

Map every exterior opening. Match the system to the use and architecture. Verify the exact technical evidence. Integrate fixings, power, drainage and façade details. Maintain the installed protection so it remains operational years later.

04Technical discipline

A hurricane product is only as credible as its exact configuration.

Opening size, design pressure, impact requirement, guide or frame system, anchors and structural substrate can all change performance. Apollo does not apply one headline wind-speed or impact claim to every product size.

Selection guide

Choose the right shutter

Compare roll-down, accordion, Bahama, Colonial and hurricane fabric by opening type and project use.

Open pathway Decision guide

Shutters vs impact windows

Compare active deployable protection with permanent impact-resistant openings.

Open pathway Application

Coastal & island buildings

Plan around salt, corrosion, remote logistics, large openings and storm exposure.

Open pathway Technical authority

Testing & standards

Understand design pressure, impact testing, tested sizes and fixing evidence.

Open pathway

Technical claim control

Performance follows the exact system and project.

Opening size, positive and negative design pressures, impact requirements, tracks or frames, anchors and structural substrate all affect final performance. Apollo ties numerical wind, impact and certification claims to the applicable tested or engineered configuration rather than applying one blanket rating to an entire product family.
