CLOSE

flood barrier

Deployment in as little as 7 seconds

Flood protection door with rapid closing.

A single-leaf outward-opening flood protection door with rapid closing.

Materials:

  • Made of Anticorodal aluminium; protected with a silver/natural-coloured anodised finish as standard
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 195 x 240 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 45 x 140 H

*Measurements in centimetres. Possible widths for the specified height

PLEASE NOTE: for greater widths, additional units can be positioned side by side using a fixed post, which can also connect to removable devices. Alternatively, choose CLOSEduo to protect larger openings.

Other features

  • Sample No. 001 tested, dimensions 195 x 240 cm
  • From the outside toward the inside of the area to be protected, the flood protection door can also be positioned with the user remaining inside.
  • Supplied with a perimeter frame whose lower frame features a special threshold profile suitable for even medium-light vehicles; the door opens outward with a special lever control, fitted as standard only on the inside, but with an internal and external handle for movement. Aluminium hinges can be painted in four different standard colours.
  • Pull from inside the area to be protected and close the leaf by pressing, through the control lever handle, its 3 pressure locks that compress the gaskets; external lever handle available on request.
  • This is a very important factor to assess carefully before purchasing the device, especially if several flood protection devices need to be deployed in an emergency: our CLOSE flood protection door can be deployed in as little as 7 seconds.
  • Flood protection door suitable for access to ground-floor, semi-basement or basement areas of residential buildings such as houses and villas, as well as garages or parking facilities, shopping centres, shop windows, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, craft workshops or industrial buildings, churches, historic buildings and monuments.
  • As a safety flood protection door, it can also be installed when needed to protect the doors of electrical cabins.

I choose the CLOSE flood protection door because the designers have solved these issues for me:

Unobstructed access

The leaf can be removed and refitted when needed.

Hinges adjustable in height only.

Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 (Construction Products Regulation, or CPR).

We use hinges whose fixings, when the leaf is closed, remain protected and concealed by the cover plates.

  • Thanks to its rebate, it provides excellent sealing security.
  • At a suitable height to remove access barriers for people with disabilities, with the source reference “art. ex 13/1989” (Italy only).
  • WARNING: in some countries it is necessary to apply, on the lower side and on the side of the area to be protected, a flat profile of suitable width and 5 mm thickness.
  • RAPID designers have developed an original frame shape that makes it easier to apply sealing pressure to the door leaf.
  • Simple and strong fastening at the same time

Flood protection door usually lightweight, thanks to the special sliders made of self-lubricating material and to the particular shape of the frame (year 2020).

The original padlock system invented by RAPID is, on request, both simple and effective.

Known defects identified and avoided as the original design was progressively developed

Unnecessary space occupation

The non-removable leaf creates an obstruction in the access opening.

The gaskets attached to the leaf and the non-removable leaf cause wear, even when it is not used for flood protection.

Hinges for outward opening must, by regulation, be tested.

It is not possible to detach the hinges from the frame or from the leaf when the leaf is closed.

Including through the hole for the optional external operating lever handle mechanism.

With the lowest possible pressure, and where possible suitable for a user with motor impairments in the limbs.

  • Internal and external lever control
  • Padlock system
  • Painting of the frame (excluding the threshold profile) and/or the door panel
  • Up to 2 years for gaskets used and stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Up to 10 years, excluding gaskets

DISCLAIMER: WARNING! If the opening is a designated safety exit, a safety plan must approve the use of another suitable exit before the flood barrier is fitted. Otherwise, the space to be protected must contain no people or anything else that could be put at risk. Dripping is within the permitted sealing tolerance, although it does not necessarily occur. Additional protective measures are recommended when the device protects hazardous areas.
