01Project guidance
Roll-down: fast, permanent and motorisation-friendly.
Strong for conventional windows, doors and selected larger openings where vertical deployment and an overhead housing fit the architecture.
Knowledge Centre · shutter selector
Choose the hurricane shutter around the opening, not the product name.
Roll-down, accordion, Bahama, Colonial and hurricane fabric systems solve different problems. Compare them by opening width, architecture, deployment, motorisation, storage and everyday use before deciding which belongs on the building.

02Project guidance
Accordion: particularly strong for wide horizontal spans.
A leading starting point for sliders, balconies and wide glazed openings where side stacking is practical.
03Project guidance
Bahama and Colonial: protection with architectural character.
Bahama shutters add solar shading and tropical character. Colonial shutters suit traditional side-hinged façades. Both need configuration-specific severe-weather evidence when sold as hurricane systems.
04Project guidance
Hurricane fabric: lightweight and removable.
A specialist option where low weight and minimal permanent visual impact matter, provided storage, deployment and exact anchor/test requirements are manageable.

Use the wider Apollo protection pathway.
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.
