Regional severe-storm pathway · United States

Storm, hurricane and flood-protection systems for Florida and the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Florida and Gulf Coast projects combine high-wind design, windborne debris, intense rain, coastal corrosion and, on many sites, flood or storm-surge exposure. Apollo uses U.S. product approvals, adopted codes, project design pressures and local authority requirements as the starting point rather than transferring overseas ratings into the market.

Florida/Gulf Coast projects can require separate evidence for wind, impact, flood, structural anchorage and local approvals.

What project teams need to know about Florida & Gulf Coast.

Use this page for early system selection; final performance follows the exact tested, listed or engineered configuration and the actual project.
01

What is Florida & Gulf Coast?

Florida and Gulf Coast projects combine high-wind design, windborne debris, intense rain, coastal corrosion and, on many sites, flood or storm-surge exposure. Apollo uses U.S. product approvals, adopted codes, project design pressures and local authority requirements as the starting point rather than transferring overseas ratings into the market.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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

Product approval and project design are both required.

A product approval, evaluation report or test result is not a complete building design. The exact model, size, design pressure, installation method, anchors, substrate and local permit requirements still need to match the project.

02Project guidance

High-Velocity Hurricane Zone projects need an especially disciplined evidence path.

Where Miami-Dade/Broward HVHZ requirements apply, Apollo checks the exact approval scope rather than describing an entire product family as Miami-Dade approved. Current approval status and limitations are verified for the quoted configuration.

03Project guidance

Safe rooms require wind and flood thinking together.

For projects using ICC 500 or FEMA P-361 pathways, shelter classification, anchorage, impact protection, occupancy and local approval sit beside flood and storm-surge siting. A high-wind shelter should not be treated as protected from inundation by default.

04Project guidance

Critical equipment belongs in the hurricane plan.

Rooftop HVAC, standby generators, solar arrays, plant screens, flood barriers and drainage can determine whether a property can function after the event even when the main structure remains standing.

Project-specific performance

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. Numerical wind, impact and certification information is matched to the applicable tested or engineered configuration for the project.
