Flood Barrier

It takes about 2 seconds to position itself

The most RAPID

(Patent) The flood barrier features a simple mechanism and is just as simple and RAPID to install.

Materials:

  • Anticorodal aluminum construction, protected by a silver/natural-colored anodized finish as standard
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available Sizes

  • in cm

L - Custom width.

H - Available fixed heights: 20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100/120/140

Maximum width for the specified height:

  • L 490 x 100 H
  • L 290 x 120 H
  • L 150 x 140 H

Minimum dimensions:

  • L 23 x 20 H

NOTE: To achieve greater widths or to use lighter flood-control devices, purchase the removable connecting post, which can be positioned as needed, allowing you to connect an unlimited number of devices—even different models—to form linear barriers: straight, angular, or perimeter barriers.

Other features

  • Sample No. 001, measuring 490 x 100 cm, was tested by Istituto Giordano S.p.A.
  • From the outside toward the interior of the area to be protected, it can also be positioned with the user inside.
  • This is a very important factor to carefully consider before purchasing a flood prevention device, especially if multiple devices need to be installed during an emergency: the CLICK RAPID model can be installed in as little as 2 seconds and is the most RAPID ever.
  • Suitable for access to the ground floor, basement, or underground level of residential buildings such as:
    • Houses and Villas
    • Garages or Storage Units
    • Shopping Centers
    • Storefronts
    • Logistics Warehouses and Storage Facilities
    • Artisans’ workshops or factories
    • Churches, Historic Buildings, and Monuments
  • It can be installed as a safety flood barrier, as needed, in front of doors, industrial doors, overhead doors, sectional doors, roller shutters, driveway gates, and pedestrian gates.
  • Ideal for containing liquids resulting from firefighting operations or for containing spills.
  • Containment of leaks from various industrial liquids.
  • To protect swimming pools, machinery, or whatever you want from flooding.
  • It can be used as a splash guard against water or snow in front of an entrance facing a street or other high-traffic area, or simply to slow down flooding.

I choose CLICK Rapid because the designers have solved these issues for me:

  • Protruding just 3.2 cm from the shoulder to make any kind of impact difficult
  • Take the necessary steps to ensure that the surfaces of the access walls to the area to be protected from flooding are smooth, straight, and perpendicular.
  • They can be painted a color that better matches the wall
  • To prevent the awkward bump against the edge in the case of the standard-height model
  • They can be painted a color similar to the wall

We can supply covers to conceal fasteners and mechanisms that can be attached and removed with just four turns of a standard-size or custom-sized screw, and we can paint them in the color of your choice.

With a single motion, press the three gaskets into place by positioning the special panel.

With a simple motion and minimal friction, thanks to the rotation of special self-lubricating rollers.

Thanks to the L-shaped retaining profiles, this special panel can be gripped by hand using the ergonomic carrying and control handles located at the top of the panel. With your arms outstretched, lift it just 3 cm using your leg muscles, which normally support your body weight.

  • The first one holds the special waterproofing panel
  • The second one is needed to keep the Special Panel from blowing over in the wind
  • The third option is the ability to lock it with padlocks (upon request)

Available in widths of up to 490 cm in a single piece, this flood barrier is the widest model tested by Istituto Giordano S.p.A. (2019).

Our QR code, engraved directly on the flood barrier, links you to our website www.rapid.sm, where you can download the user and maintenance manual—available in 5 languages—before each use. The QR code also provides direct contact with the supplier in case the Partner is unavailable.

This identification number, which RAPID has been issuing since 2017, contains the entire history of your flood protection device, ensuring seamless after-sales support—from locating replacement parts to handling any recalls.

Known flaws that were avoided as the original design took shape:

Aluminum profiles: minimalist, elegant, and available in a variety of finishes.

  • Do not use a “U”-shaped or “C”-shaped guide rail, which forces the user to lift the panel above the height of the guide rails using only their arms—a significant problem, especially if the user lacks the necessary strength
  • Be careful not to scratch or cut through the gasket when inserting the panel into the C- or U-shaped guides before the weather alert.

This stalling and snapping is caused by the misalignment of the hinge connecting the two half-bulkheads; this misalignment causes the bulkhead to expand beyond the width necessary to ensure watertight integrity, and then to suddenly CONTRACT due to the excessive compression of the side elastic gaskets, narrowing to the correct width required for watertight integrity.

It is clear that this stubborn jam does not improve the device’s watertightness or benefit the user; rather, it merely imposes a LIMIT ON USE of the device by a user who has the strength to overcome it. Moreover, it is well known that in an emergency, the user of working age is not at home during working hours, and the substitute at home may not have enough strength to open it.

  • Avoid taking too long to secure the panel with screws or thumb screws against either the guide rail or the underside.
  • Rigid side mechanisms that, when the panel is wide, prevent both clamps from being fully engaged
  • Millimeter-sized fasteners or clips designed to hold the panel securely in place and under pressure; however, due to even the slightest misalignment of the holes or possible warping of the panel, they do not engage simultaneously, requiring the panel to be pressed twice and released twice during removal
  • The breakage of aluminum or other metal fasteners used to hold the device in the closed position, whether they are screwed or riveted

Achieve the desired width even for an industrial door without a vertical post.

  • Ergonomic knob for adjusting the knobs
  • Padlock system
  • Painting of the frame (excluding the threshold profile) and/or the door panel
  • Up to 2 years for used gaskets stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines
  • Up to 10 years, excluding gaskets Up to 2 years for gaskets

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the access is for SAFETY PURPOSES, a safety plan must be in place that authorizes the use of an alternative measure before installing the flood barrier; otherwise, the area to be protected from flooding must be completely clear of people or other objects that could be endangered inside it. Dripping falls within the seal’s tolerance, although this is not mandatory. When installing the barrier to protect hazardous areas, it is recommended to implement additional safety measures as well.
