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.
Request Project ReviewStorm exposure + long-term marine durability
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.

Aluminium finishes, hardware, fasteners, tracks, motors and electrical components need to be selected and maintained for the site's actual marine exposure.
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.
Packaging, sea freight, port handling, installation sequencing and selected spare components can matter more on island projects where replacements may take weeks to arrive.
Fresh-water cleaning, track clearing, motor testing, hardware inspection and pre-season operation help ensure a system remains usable when severe weather approaches.

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.
