What is Coastal & Island Buildings?
Coastal projects need to solve more than the storm. Salt exposure, humidity, UV, driving rain, large openings, remote logistics and long replacement lead times all influence the right protection system.
Storm exposure + long-term marine durability

What project teams need to know about Coastal & Island Buildings.
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
The storm may last hours. Salt acts on the building every day.
Aluminium finishes, hardware, fasteners, tracks, motors and electrical components need to be selected and maintained for the site's actual marine exposure.
02Project guidance
Island architecture often creates larger openings.
Wide sliders, balconies, outdoor-living connections and resort-style glazing should be included in the storm strategy from the start rather than treated as exceptions.
03Project guidance
Remote logistics change the service strategy.
Packaging, sea freight, port handling, installation sequencing and selected spare components can matter more on island projects where replacements may take weeks to arrive.
04Project guidance
Maintenance is part of protection.
Fresh-water cleaning, track clearing, motor testing, hardware inspection and pre-season operation help ensure a system remains usable when severe weather approaches.
