Permanent deployable protection

Roll-down hurricane shutters for windows, doors and larger openings.

Permanent aluminium shutter systems that remain at the opening and deploy vertically when severe weather approaches. Manual and motorised pathways can be selected around opening size, building use and project requirements.

What project teams need to know about Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters.

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

What is Roll-Down Hurricane Shutters?

Permanent aluminium shutter systems that remain at the opening and deploy vertically when severe weather approaches. Manual and motorised pathways can be selected around opening size, building use and project requirements.

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

Protection that becomes part of the building.

The shutter curtain retracts into a housing above the opening during normal use and travels through side guides when protection is required. This avoids storing loose storm panels and can simplify preparation across buildings with many openings.

02Project guidance

Strong applications range from homes to hospitality.

Roll-down systems can suit windows, sliding and patio openings, selected balconies, hotel and resort rooms, shopfronts and commercial openings where vertical deployment works with the architecture.

  • Hotels + resorts
  • Apartments
  • Commercial buildings
  • Selected garage / large-door openings
03Project guidance

Motorisation changes the operational strategy.

Motorised operation can significantly reduce storm-preparation time on larger buildings. Power supply, control locations, motor access and emergency/manual operation where supported should be planned during design rather than added later.

04Project guidance

The guides and fixings are part of the hurricane system.

Performance is determined by the complete assembly: curtain profile, side guides, bottom rail, head support, operating system, anchors and structural substrate. Larger openings require their own pressure and support review.

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.
