THE DETAILS BEHIND THE GOOD TIMES
Tight –Seal Technology seals the enclosure and helps protect your TV against rain, insects and dust. A watertight cable cover also protects the connections to your TV.
Thermostatically controlled rear fans switch on automatically when the temperature inside the enclosure reaches 30°C, increasing airflow to help dissipate heat.
Cross-flow fans at the bottom of the front frame move air between the enclosure glass and the TV screen.
Internal film protection on the anti-glare tempered glass helps block IR and UV solar rays.
MERV 5 filters over the sound vents help keep dust, sand and insects away from the TV. They are removable and washable.
HOW APOLLO MANAGES HEAT AND SUN
Apollo TV enclosures are purpose-built to protect televisions and commercial screens from weather, dust, heat, and impact. They’re used in villas, homes, outdoor bars, and commercial properties across the USA, Canada, Europe, Dubai and New Zealand. The robust outer aluminium shell and the protected internal environment with thermostatically controlled cooling keep your screen safe 24/7.
Each enclosure includes filtered ventilation, internal film applied to anti-glare tempered glass that protects the TV from harmful IR and UV solar rays, and tamper-resistant screws. They allow screens to operate reliably in conditions that would quickly damage standard displays.
Please view our brochures and contact us for assistance in selecting the ideal enclosure for your project.
Apollo enclosures are designed to house standard LED/LCD TVs. This gives you flexibility — you don’t need a special outdoor-rated TV. Choose a quality commercial screen or smart TV with all the features required, outdoors.
Orientation: For portrait or landscape use, choose a screen that supports that mode and purchase the appropriate landscape or portrait enclosure as required. Portrait enclosures are not suitable for TVs, and they require a portrait commercial screen. You cannot turn a standard landscape enclosure into portrait orientation. The bottom vents will be exposed to rain/water ingress, and the ventilation system will suffer.
Depth: The TV must fit within the maximum TV specs for the desired enclosure. Check your TV for suitability
Power supply: Ensure a weatherproof power outlet is installed if the location will be exposed to the weather.
Dubai’s heat is no joke. Apollo enclosures are designed with internal airflow systems that keep your TV safe and operational when installed permanently outdoors, even during peak summer temperatures.
Apollo enclosures don’t actively cool your TV. Instead, they’re designed to keep air moving, helping to prevent heat build-up inside the enclosure.
Here’s how it works:
This movement of air keeps the internal temperature more stable, so your screen doesn’t overheat, even in Dubai’s harshest months.
Televisions aren’t designed to bake inside sealed boxes. The Apollo Enclosure airflow design means your screen stays protected and operating safely, with no overheating shutdowns or damage.
These features help prevent heat build-up and extend the life of your screen.
Now that you have decided to invest in your outdoor entertainment with an Apollo Desert Series Enclosure and TV of your choice, you need to ensure it’s installed correctly.

Apollo enclosures give you the flexibility to choose nearly any standard TV you like – size, brand, or feature set. Want a smart TV with voice control or an ultra-bright display? Done. You’re not locked into expensive outdoor-only models that may not keep up with home tech trends. To ensure the safety and longevity of your outdoor TV installation, you have two main options:
With an enclosure, you don’t need to toss the whole unit when the screen needs an upgrade. Just swap the TV inside while the protective enclosure stays mounted. It’s more sustainable, more cost-effective, and way more practical long-term.
Apollo’s weatherproof, impact-resistant design is tough enough for outdoors, but also ideal for indoor commercial spaces like factories, gyms, workshops, and schools where screens are at risk. One solution, multiple environments.
Because one won’t work without the other. By using an outdoor TV enclosure, you can eliminate the dollar expense involved with repeatedly replacing indoor TVs that should be restricted to indoors, the hassle of dealing with sudden failures, and the risks associated with weather-related fire and safety hazards. Moreover, it provides an outdoor entertainment experience right in the comfort of your own backyard where you can enjoy other features such as a pool, spa and BBQ area.
The most frequent objection we hear from would-be customers is that an outdoor TV enclosure costs more than the TV that it will be protecting. The refrain that we often hear is that even if an unprotected indoor TV wears down more quickly in an outdoor environment, a new TV is relatively cheap and it is more cost-effective to simply buy a new TV when the old one breaks compared to protecting a TV with a presumed expensive TV enclosure.
The logic seems pretty sound at first. The problem with that argument is that an unprotected TV not only wears down more quickly in an outdoor environment but it will be unsafe, both for the TV and for you and your family. Moreover, given the long lifespan of a high-quality enclosure and the short lifespan of an unprotected indoor TV in an outdoor environment, protecting your TV with an enclosure will prove more cost-effective in the long run. So is it worth it to spend the money on an Enclosure?
Yes, protecting your TV and electronics for installation in the outdoor environment has a very specific value. Safety, convenience, a broader range of consumer choice, and a more cost-effective outdoor TV solution are what you get when you use an outdoor TV Enclosure.
For consumer gardens or commercial restaurant patios, check the make, model specifications with a budget you have in mind and select a TV that will best fit your needs in the installation location.

It is all about keeping your TV working despite the high ambient temperatures in MENA. An Elite standard Apollo enclosure has temperature-controlled high-flow axial fans in the rear panel to draw in cool air from below and then expel the now hot air out of the rear-protected vents. The Desert Series enclosure has extra rear fans and additional cross-flow fans in the bottom of the front frame. These blow cool air between the enclosure glass and the TV glass. There is also additional protection as an internal film has been applied to the anti-glare tempered glass to protect the TV screen from harmful IR and UV solar rays.
While most of these features are not needed for a TV that you place in a dry, climate-controlled room like your living room, family room, or bedroom, they are essential when it comes to outdoor TV installations. If you want a safe and enjoyable outdoor TV installation and experience that will last for years to come, then these features are a must-have. The enclosures are also suitable to protect commercial screens and TV installations. When you purchase an Apollo Desert Series enclosure it will be shipped from our warehouse in Dubai.
Yes, you can! The decision must be made before building the wall. The design must allow adequate space to safely recess the enclosure, with a 30mm gap between each side, the top and bottom of the enclosure, and the four sides of the recess. The recess must be deep enough to allow the enclosure glass to sit flush with the wall (at least 220 mm). The enclosure must be mounted on a full-motion mount, the AWM407NA, which is suitable for enclosures up to and including the DS7570. You MUST follow the instructions in this document.
Tight Seal Technology seals the enclosure and protects your TV against rain, insects and dust. The watertight cable cover protects cable connections to your TV inputs and outputs
Thermostatically Controlled Rear Fans are connected to a thermostat and when the temperature inside the enclosure reaches 30C they switch on.
These enhance airflow and help dissipate heat generated inside the enclosure, ensuring that the internal temperature remains within safe operating limits for the electronics.
Cross-Flow Fans at the bottom of the front frame blow cool air between the enclosure glass and the TV glass. This helps to prevent overheating of the TV screen and ensures a clear, undistorted, display.
Internal Film Protection: An internal film applied to the anti-glare tempered glass provides additional protection to the TV screen. This film helps block harmful IR and UV solar rays. This reduces heat buildup and protects the screen from potential damage caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Merv 5 Filters over the sound vents under the enclosure are there to prevent dust, sand and insects from entering the enclosure and damaging the TV., These filters can be removed and washed.
