What project teams need to know about Bahama Hurricane Shutters.
What project information should Apollo receive first?
Send the project location, building type, drawings or clear photographs, relevant dimensions and structural information, and any known wind, design-pressure, impact, flood, shelter, access or local-code requirements that apply to this system.
Can this system be specified from website information alone?
No. Site hazard, dimensions, loads, support and anchorage, exact product configuration, installation method, applicable technical evidence and local approvals can all change the final specification.
Does Apollo install this protection system?
Apollo is supply-only. Final engineering, fixings, installation, approvals and local code compliance remain with the appropriate manufacturer, approved specialist or client-side project team unless expressly included in the written scope.
Can Apollo review this system for international projects?
Yes, where the product and project can be supported. Destination hazard, climate, freight, documentation, local engineering, certification and installation responsibilities are reviewed before supply.

01Project guidance
Protection that works every day.
During normal conditions the shutter projects outward over the window, helping shade glazing and improve privacy. When the selected storm-protection configuration requires deployment, it closes toward the opening and secures according to the system design.
02Project guidance
The architecture matters as much as the mechanics.
Bahama shutters remain visible year-round. Proportion, projection, blade form and finish should therefore be coordinated with window size, façade rhythm and the wider architecture.
03Project guidance
Island homes and resorts are natural applications.
The combination of shading, privacy and architectural character makes Bahama shutters particularly suitable for Pacific and Caribbean-style homes, villas, low-rise accommodation and resort buildings.
04Project guidance
Decorative Bahama shutters are not automatically hurricane systems.
Where wind or debris performance is required, the complete shutter frame, blades, hinges, supports, locks, anchors and project substrate must be supported by the applicable technical evidence.
