Pacific projects
Suitable product pathways can be assessed for island and coastal projects with cyclone exposure.
Cyclone & hurricane protection
Opening protection for exposed coastal, island and severe-weather projects.
Apollo NZ can supply shutter and opening-protection systems for projects where windborne debris, severe weather and temporary storm closure are major design considerations.

Technical overview
Storm protection is site- and opening-specific
The appropriate system depends on opening size, building structure, design wind environment, debris risk, required access and the destination code requirements.
01System family
Shutters + opening protectionProduct format selected around the project brief.
02Opening size
Project-specificWidth, height and fixing structure define the final solution.
03Wind design
Site-specificDesign pressure and local code requirements must be confirmed for the destination.
04Operation
Project-selectedManual, fixed or other operating pathways depend on the chosen product.
05Material
Architectural aluminium pathwaysFinal system/material confirmed in quotation.
06Supply model
Global project supplyLocal engineering, installation and compliance remain separately defined.
No storm-protection product should be selected from website copy alone. Final wind pressures, impact requirements, fixings and code compliance must be confirmed by the relevant project professionals.
Project fit
Storm products only work when the fixing strategy matches the building.
Residential
Glazed doors and large openings can be reviewed for temporary or permanent protection strategies.
Commercial
Repeat openings can be coordinated into a consistent protection package across a building or facility.
Terrace closure
Where outdoor spaces adjoin internal rooms, storm-protection planning can be coordinated with blinds or shutters.
Engineering interface
The surrounding wall, frame, slab or column is part of the system because it must safely receive the loads.
Global supply
Apollo can support projects in cyclone- and hurricane-prone markets beyond New Zealand.
