on the bottom.
Have the Flood Gates been tested? Kitemark Tested
& Approved
Yes, the Flood Gates were designed, developed, tested & patented in the UK
& also patented in the US. Testing was performed in the UK & passed British
Kite Mark testing to prevent flood water entering up to 24in. The US Flood
Gates are manufactured under the same UK standards.
Where can Flood Gates be used?
In any entryway that Flood Gates can fit into. This can include: Residential, Commercial,
Retail, Government, Power & Nuclear, Hospital, Hotel, Condo's & Apartments & more.
Are custom sizes available?
No not normally, as there is quite a bit of engineering involved & custom neoprene sleeves
that would have to be made, which would make the cost too significant for single units.
Stanchion and Base Installation:
What if my door is wider than 50in?
Stanchions are available to join multiple units together*. The Stanchion Base will need to
be installed in the ground & left as a flush surface until needed. (See instruction manual for Upright Stanchion
