Description

In the South Pacific, countries like Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and other Pacific Islands are regularly exposed to tropical cyclones, hurricanes, and powerful storm surges. Likewise, communities across the Caribbean also face these extreme weather events every season.
Protecting homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure is not just important—it’s essential.
One of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to safeguard properties in cyclone-prone regions is through hurricane shutters, also known as storm shutters or hurricane panels.

At Apollo NZ, we specialize in supplying high-quality hurricane shutters designed for tropical climates. Whether you're building new, upgrading an existing property, or protecting a resort, our storm protection solutions are engineered for the toughest conditions in the Pacific and the Caribbean.

What Are Hurricane Shutters?

Hurricane shutters are protective coverings that shield windows, doors, and vulnerable openings from the destructive forces of cyclones, hurricanes, and tropical storms. By acting as a physical barrier against flying debris, water intrusion, and sudden pressure changes, they drastically reduce the risk of major damage to structures.

With various designs and materials available, hurricane shutters can be selected to match both the protection needs and the aesthetic style of any property.

Why Hurricane Shutters Are Vital for Tropical Regions

  • Impact and Debris Protection
    Cyclones and hurricanes in the Pacific Islands and Caribbean generate high winds that can turn everyday items into dangerous projectiles. Apollo NZ's hurricane shutters are built to withstand these extreme impacts, protecting your property from shattered windows, flooding, and injuries.

  • Maintain Structural Integrity
    Pressure differentials during a major storm can cause catastrophic damage if windows or doors fail. Hurricane shutters help maintain pressure balance, significantly reducing the risk of roof lift-offs and structural collapse.

  • Enhanced Energy Efficiency
    When closed, hurricane shutters add an extra layer of thermal insulation, helping regulate indoor temperatures and lowering cooling costs—a major advantage in tropical island climates.

  • Increased Security
    Whether leaving a holiday home for the off-season or securing a property ahead of a storm, locked hurricane shutters provide an extra layer of security against theft and vandalism.
