Hurricane and cyclone protection for glazed storefronts and hospitality façades.

Retail and restaurant frontages can combine large glazing, customer entrances, sliders and open hospitality sections in one exposed façade. Apollo selects protection around the complete frontage rather than scaling up a residential window shutter.

01Project guidance

Large glazing needs a purpose-built strategy.

Fixed glass, display windows, customer doors, sliding openings and corner glazing should be mapped as one façade. Total span, mullions, structural support and pressure requirements can change the appropriate system.

02Project guidance

Motorised roll-down protection can serve everyday and storm operation.

Where the exact system supports both roles, a commercial shutter can provide after-hours closure and rapid severe-weather deployment. Security performance and hurricane performance still need to be treated as separate claims.

03Project guidance

Impact storefront systems preserve clear everyday visibility.

New-build and major renovation projects can consider suitable impact-resistant glazing and doors where permanent transparent protection is preferred.

04Project guidance

Signs, canopies and architectural features can interfere with retrofit protection.

Existing lightboxes, awnings, services and decorative trims should be identified before guides, housings or anchors are finalised.

Technical claim control

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. 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.
