Flooding often causes immense damage to property and belongings and is becoming a rising concern for property owners across the UK. Standard airbricks, which allow ventilation beneath your home or business, allow entry for water during flooding. The solution lies in Flood Angel Airbricks, something we can provide and install here at Stormguard Floodplan.
Flood Angel Airbricks are innovative replacements for traditional airbricks and are the first to achieve British Standard accreditation (PAS 1188-1:2014) for flood protection. This means they’ve been rigorously tested and proven effective in keeping floodwater at bay.
The secret lies in their ingenious design. Unlike a standard airbrick with open vents which can allow floodwater through, Flood Angel Airbricks have a unique, built-in mesh insert. This mesh allows air to flow freely through the brick, ensuring proper ventilation for your home. However, when floodwater rises and reaches the airbrick, the clever design comes into play. The water pressure against the mesh insert triggers a self-activating mechanism, which forces the mesh shut. This effectively seals the airbrick and prevents floodwater from entering your property.
Flood Angel Airbricks also offer more than just flood protection. The mesh insert also acts as a barrier against debris like leaves and twigs, preventing them from clogging the air vents and hindering ventilation. Flood Angel Airbricks also come in a range of colours, allowing you to choose one that complements your property’s aesthetics.
If you live in an area at risk of flooding, Flood Angel Airbricks can provide invaluable peace of mind. They offer a reliable and easy-to-install solution for flood protection and can be fitted to new builds or replace existing airbricks in older properties.
