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.
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.
Yes, where the product and project can be supported. Destination hazard, climate, freight, documentation, local engineering, certification and installation responsibilities are reviewed before supply.
Colonial shutters sit beside the window throughout the year, so proportions and finish matter. They can suit traditional, tropical, plantation-influenced and heritage-inspired coastal architecture.
Open shutter leaves need sufficient room beside windows and must avoid corners, downpipes, exterior lighting and adjacent openings. Early façade coordination produces the cleanest result.
Hinges, locks, bolts, fasteners and the surrounding wall all contribute to the final system. A decorative side-hinged shutter should not be represented as hurricane rated without configuration-specific evidence.
They are strongest around conventional windows. Wide sliders, garages and large commercial openings are normally better addressed by accordion, roll-down or heavy-duty systems.
