Flood Barrier Protection for Doors

Independently accredited and approved by the Environment Agency.

Custom-sized aluminium barriers for single, patio, or bi-fold doors.

To help protect these key entry points, we offer two of the leading flood barriers on the market the FPS Flood Barrier and the Nautilus Flood Barrier.

Installing a doorway flood barrier can help reduce the risk of water entering protected areas, safeguarding property.  

Our flood defence barriers for doors are manufactured to suit individual openings and provide a temporary defence when flooding is expected. Once the barrier is secured into position, it forms a watertight seal around the entrance designed to stop water ingress. Door flood barriers can be deployed in minutes when flood warnings are issued. 

A properly designed Doorway Flood Barrier must consider:

  • Material of walls
  • Ground level and surface
  • Flood depths and water flow direction
  • Doorway width
  • Steps around the door
  • Any protruding thresholds
  • Drainage around door

How Our Doorway Flood Barriers Work 

Both the FPS Flood Barrier and Nautilus systems utilise lightweight, removable aluminium panels that slot into permanently fixed side rails or demountable posts to create a strong and reliable seal against floodwater. When properly maintained, the systems can be reused during multiple flood events, providing dependable long-term protection.

After 4 floods in 16 years, the Water-Gate Barrier was used in November and December 2012. The relief when it prevented what would have been a 5th and 6th flood was enormous. The best part is the piece of mind that follows.
