FULL W

flood barrier

It takes about 3 seconds to place

It completely seals the window against flooding.

(Patent) Fully enclosed anti-flooding safety device for windows. It consists of a foldable anti-flooding barrier with special gaskets on all four sides and a control mechanism operated by a removable front handle; it is complemented by a special perimeter frame to be secured on three sides (left, top, and right); it is manufactured to the required width and height, and a profile for the bottom side can be supplied as an option if the surface quality of that side needs to be addressed: smooth, straight, or within the tolerances required by the gaskets as specified in the manufacturer’s technical manual.

Materials:

  • Anticorodal aluminum construction with standard silver/natural anodized finish
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for either fresh or salt water. Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 205 x 100 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 45 x 40 H

*Measurements in centimeters. Possible width for the specified height

NOTE: For wider applications, it can be connected to other devices—including removable ones—using a fixed support post.

Other features

  • Sample No. 001, measuring 205×100, was tested
  • From the outside toward the inside of the area to be protected, it can also be positioned with the user inside. CAUTION! It does not open from the inside.
  • Suitable for windows on the ground floor, in basements, or in underground levels of residential buildings such as houses and villas, as well as for garages or sheds, shopping centers, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops, and industrial facilities.
  • This flood barrier can be placed in front of windows as a safety measure when necessary.
  • It provides excellent protection against hail, objects carried by a tornado, or strong winds, even during a storm.
  • 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.
  • This is a very important factor that should be carefully considered before purchasing the device, especially if multiple devices need to be deployed in an emergency: the Full W flood barrier deploys in as little as 3 seconds.

I’m choosing the FULL_W because the designers have solved these issues for me:

PATENTS

For corner support, lightweight locking, easy locking, secure locking, safety locking, internal and external locking, locking above the flood level, and scratch resistance.

A lightweight alloy that does not rust and has excellent resistance to galvanic corrosion when in contact with water only during emergency periods (approximately 10 days a year in Venice).

  • Up to 5 YEARS for gaskets
  • Up to 10 years on Anticorodal ALUMINUM and AISI 316 STAINLESS STEEL materials

Our patent allows you to pressurize it by pressing the gaskets against the shoulders with a smooth motion, using as little as a single finger, without unnecessary effort, and gradually expanding it to the correct width without it shrinking.

By designing the lever handle with an ergonomic grip, we have improved the grip and achieved better force distribution; we have also made it extendable in case it is needed to assist people with limited strength, or for devices where the vertical gasket is thicker due to industrial manufacturing tolerances, or for irregularities in the access panels—it is designed for opening and closing from the outside; Versatile users can also use it for opening and closing from the inside.

We designed the device with numerous anti-pinch features incorporated into the mechanisms and various moving parts.

It is also designed to prevent fingers from getting crushed during the closing process and to prevent the flood barrier from bending outward in the event of strong winds or improper positioning.

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.

  • Up to 5 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • 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.
