Ventilation + weather-management openings

Louvre pathways for plant rooms, utility areas and exposed service openings.

Apollo supplies aluminium fixed and adjustable louvre pathways for buildings where ventilation or equipment screening remains necessary. Severe-weather suitability is kept distinct from ordinary architectural louvre performance.

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

What is Storm & Hurricane Louvres?

Apollo supplies aluminium fixed and adjustable louvre pathways for buildings where ventilation or equipment screening remains necessary. Severe-weather suitability is kept distinct from ordinary architectural louvre performance.

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

Not every exterior opening is a window or door.

Plant rooms, generator rooms, pump areas, mechanical spaces and utility buildings may need permanent airflow while still forming part of the external envelope.

02Project guidance

Fixed, manual-adjustable and motorised pathways solve different operating needs.

The simplest suitable system is normally preferable. Adjustable or motorised blades can provide operational control where airflow or closure needs to change, but power-loss and equipment-ventilation requirements must be considered.

03Project guidance

Weather resistance and hurricane performance are different claims.

A louvre can be architectural, ventilating, rain-resistant or wind-resistant without having verified hurricane-impact performance. Apollo publishes severe-weather claims only where the exact configuration supports them.

04Project guidance

Mechanical airflow still governs the opening.

Free area and pressure drop can matter on larger ventilation projects. Weather protection should not create an airflow problem for equipment behind the louvre.

Project-specific performance

Performance follows the exact system and project.

General aluminium louvre capability is established, but specific hurricane-impact or design-pressure claims remain configuration-specific. Severe-weather numerical claims stay on HOLD unless supported by the exact louvre technical/test pack.
