Lightweight removable protection

Deployable hurricane fabric for selected windows, doors and larger openings.

Hurricane fabric provides a lightweight removable alternative where permanent rigid shutters are not preferred. The protective membrane, reinforced edges, connectors, anchors and structural substrate must be treated as one complete system.

What project teams need to know about Hurricane Fabric Systems.

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

What is Hurricane Fabric Systems?

Hurricane fabric provides a lightweight removable alternative where permanent rigid shutters are not preferred. The protective membrane, reinforced edges, connectors, anchors and structural substrate must be treated as one complete system.

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

A different approach to external protection.

Instead of a rigid aluminium curtain, high-strength flexible protection is secured across the vulnerable opening using a purpose-designed attachment system. The membrane can be removed and stored after the severe-weather threat passes.

02Project guidance

Low weight can be valuable for island logistics.

Reduced component weight and compact storage can make fabric attractive for selected remote and island projects, provided deployment, storage and technical requirements are properly managed.

03Project guidance

Deployment planning is part of the product decision.

Every removable panel needs to be identified, stored and physically installed before the storm. Resorts and multi-building properties should map panels to building, room and opening IDs and test the process before storm season.

04Project guidance

Exact fabric, anchor and span claims remain configuration-specific.

Apollo will not publish universal fabric weight, anchor spacing, stand-off distance or maximum span without the applicable supplier/test documentation for the exact system.

Project-specific performance

Performance follows the exact system and project.

Hurricane fabric remains an approved Apollo product pathway, but specific fabric construction, anchor spacing, maximum protected size, impact classification and cyclic-pressure claims stay on HOLD until current configuration-specific technical evidence is available.
