Flood Protection

The Floodshield Flood Protection Barrier ‘Inspired by compassion’.

BACK in the winter of 2001, the news reported of the widespread devastation, in the wake of the extensive flooding throughout the U.K. Friends Robert and Peter were shocked at the misery the floods were causing, particularly as reports make it only to clear that the sandbags being used to protect homes could not cope against the incoming floodwater.
  
Robert and Peter agreed that there was a desperate need for a simple, inexpensive and effective alternative to sandbags. The pair set about the task of solving the problem and a simple prototype of a Flood Protection door barrier was made. A test - house was built with a flood chamber in front of the house to test the prototypes. The simple innovative design prevented water from entering the test house.
 
Spurred on by the results, Robert and Peter applied for patents in the U.K, USA and Europe. Then began the long task of designing and developing a manufacturing process to produce a door barrier for emergency use by local authorities and house holders. The Floodshield Flood Protection Door Barrier could be  produced at a low cost and in 6 standard sizes, it had to be simple and quick to use instead of the hassle of sandbags. Sandbags have to be filled, transported and laid in a brick formation across the front of the doorway. At least half a tonne of sandbags are required just to try and protect one doorway from about 6 inches of floodwater. Then when the floodwater has gone they need to be disposed of because of contamination from sewerage.

The Floodshield Door Barrier is low cost  at £149.00 Inc vat, its easy-fit with no tools required. Its has a simple design that does not require any alterations or permanent fixtures to the property.  No one needs to mess with sandbags again to protect their properties. The Floodshield is a fraction of the cost of all other door barriers. Having Flood protection products will give you ‘Piece of mind’ that you can protect your home and belongings from flood damage. At £149 the Floodshield barrier is a small price for big piece of mind.

The Insurance Industry is set for big changes with regards to flood cover for people who live in flood risk areas. In 2013 the agreement that the insurance industry have with the government to provide insurance for flood risk areas is coming to an end and they will not be renewing this agreement.
This will mean that people will not be guaranteed flood cover as standard if they live in a flood risk areas. Property owners in specific flood areas may even see cover withdrawn or large excesses being imposed in some cases of up to £25,000. Experts say flood cover could be withdrawn for half a million people. The Insurance Industry are urging property owners to protect there homes from flooding with Flood prevention products to insure that they can get flood cover and also to keep their Insurance premiums down.

This year is predicted to be Britain's wettest since records began. The problem of climate change isn’t going away so neither is the flood risk. Insurers say the clean up cost in the UK is expected to be around a billion pounds. The average clean up bill for each flooded property after flood damage is estimated to be around an average of £35,000, but this is the financial cost, the loss and damage of irreplaceable possessions is priceless. The damage and misery caused by flooding can now be avoided with this simple, effective and inexpensive Flood Protection Door Barrier.
