Cyclone-Rated Performance for Homes and Commercial Builds

Elipso is proud to produce Cairns's best cyclone shutters, plantation shutters, and outdoor shutters backed by over 40 years' experience engineering aluminium louvres for Australia's toughest climates. In Far North Queensland, that means one thing above all: performance under cyclonic wind load.

Why Do Aluminium Louvres in Cairns Need to Be Cyclone-Rated?

Cairns sits within Wind Region C under AS/NZS 1170.2, a classification reserved for cyclone-prone areas of northern Australia. Louvres and plantation shutters in Cairns need to withstand:

Sustained cyclonic wind loads and wind-borne debris impact
High humidity and salt-laden coastal air
UV exposure across an extended tropical wet season

Elipso louvres are engineered and tested specifically for these conditions.
