CLEAR

flood barrier

It takes about 3 seconds to position itself

Transparent flood barrier with high aesthetic appeal.

(Patent) The transparent flood barrier, with its attractive design, does not obstruct the view of the door it protects, nor does it block the view of the landscape. Its mechanism is simple, and it can be installed just as simply and QUICKLY.

Materials:

  • Made of transparent plastic suitable for use in fresh or saltwater
  • Anticorodal aluminum; protected with a silver/natural-colored anodized finish as standard
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 170 x 40 H
  • 130 x 100 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 23 x 30 H

Available heights:

  • 30/40/50/60/70/80/90/100

*Measurements in centimeters. Possible widths for the specified height

CAUTION : For wider configurations, additional units can be added consecutively by connecting them using the removable connecting post, which can be joined to other devices that are also removable.

Other features

  • Sample No. 001, measuring 170×100 cm, was tested
  • 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 the device, especially if you need to deploy multiple devices in an emergency: the CLEAR model is ready in as little as 3 seconds and is the most RAPID ever.
  • Suitable for residential properties such as houses and villas, basement or underground entrances, shopping centers, storefronts, or shops; and for any setting where temporary security flood barriers are needed at doors and windows or along urban and suburban roads and pathways.
  • 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 CLEAR because the designers have solved these issues for me:

Minimal side sealing profiles
  • Protruding only 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 similar to 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 screw, in standard or custom sizes, and painted 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 with as little friction as possible, thanks to the rotation of special self-lubricating rollers.

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

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

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 defects identified and avoided as the original design was progressively developed

Preserving the view and the aesthetic appeal of what lies behind
  • Some municipalities require that the view of exterior windows and doors NEVER be obstructed
  • Visual pollution is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed so as not to negatively impact people’s quality of life

Minimalist, elegant aluminum profiles that can be painted if desired

  • Do not use a “U”-shaped guide rail—also known as a “C”-shaped guide rail—that forces the user to lift the panel using only their arms, raising it above the height of the guide rails, which is no small 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.
  • 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—whether screwed or riveted—used to hold the device in the closed position
  • 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

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.
