The Statistics
Some 2 million properties and 5 million people are at risk from flooding in England and Wales alone (The Environment Agency). This accounts for 1 in 10 houses, with 200,000 at very high risk (1:75 chance of suffering a flood each year). Flood damage causes millions of pounds worth of damage and untold heartache for those affected, yet research shows that only 10% of people take any action to prepare for such a crisis, with 50% of those living in flood prone areas oblivious to the risk.
The Floodgate Door Barrier
Floodgate door barriers are unique as they do not require any permanent fittings to the property, making them ideal for use on listed buildings. They can be installed in 99% of domestic entrances, with little or no remedial work required.
The Floodgate comprises of a 25mm thick steel boxed frame, which expands telescopically on the horizontal and vertical plane (see diagrams in image gallery). The frame is enveloped by a 7mm thick neoprene jacket which when expanded, forms a waterproof seal between the gate and the aperture it is expanded into.
Due to its unique design, Floodgate does not require any permanent fittings to the property it is protecting, making it ideal for use on listed buildings. It takes approximately 2 minutes to install and can be installed during flooding, meaning that little or no warning is required.
Other Benefits Include: -
· Awarded BSI Kitemark for flood protection for building apertures
· Recognised by the Environment Agency and most leading insurers
· Provides greater flood protection than 50+ traditional sandbags without the associated costs
· Minimal space needed for assembly as only 25mm thick
· Existing doors can be opened to allow access when installed
· Easy to install, maintain, transport and store
· Suitable for rough and smooth surfaces
· Equally effective in fresh or salt water conditions
· Products can be expanded by the addition of extra units to help protect larger entrances such as factory doors or garages
Please Note: To avoid over expansion of the unit, the largest possible gate that will protect the aperture, should always be used.
