Flooding presents a devastating threat to homes and communities across the UK. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, traditional flood defence strategies can sometimes fall short. Thankfully, innovation brings us solutions like the Flood Angel Airbrick, a revolutionary product designed to shield your property from water infiltration. Let’s explore the key benefits of incorporating these airbricks into your flood defence strategy with Stormguard Floodplan.
Unlike sandbags and flood barriers, Flood Angel Airbricks offer a permanent, passive solution. These airbricks seamlessly replace standard airbricks in your walls, maintaining ventilation while remaining invisible to your home’s aesthetics. The magic lies in a self-activating mechanism triggered by rising floodwaters. A single, removable mesh insert within the brick automatically shuts upon contact with water, effectively halting water and debris from entering your home.
Unlike many flood defence products, Flood Angel Airbricks hold the British Standard Kitemark accreditation, assuring their quality and effectiveness. These airbricks are suitable for both new and existing homes, offering adaptability to varied needs. They adhere to the Code for Sustainable Homes, making them an eco-friendly choice, and their compatibility with listed buildings ensures historical structures can also benefit from this technology.
Manufactured from recycled polypropylene, Flood Angel Airbricks are robust and weather-resistant, guaranteeing long-lasting protection. Installation is straightforward, requiring only the replacement of existing airbricks with the Flood Angel units. They come in a range of colours to blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, ensuring aesthetics are not compromised.
While crucial, airbricks are only one piece of the flood defence puzzle. Here at Stormguard Floodplan we can offer complete solution, integrating airbricks with other flood protection measures like flood fences, sump pumps and floor barriers.
