CLOSE

flood barrier

It takes 7 seconds to position itself

Flood-proof door with RAPIDa locking mechanism.

The flood-proof door with a single-leaf hinged opening and RAPID locking mechanism.

Materials:

  • Made of Anticorodal aluminum; protected with a silver/natural-colored anodized finish as standard
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for either fresh or salt water. Replaceable

Available Sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 195 x 240 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 45 x 140 H

*Measurements in centimeters. Possible width for the specified height

ATTENTION: For wider areas, you can add additional units in a row, connecting them using a fixed post—which can also be used to connect them to other devices, including removable ones—or by choosing the CLOSE duo, which provides protection for larger areas.

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. Aluminum hinges can be painted in four different standard colors.
  • 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 that should be carefully considered before purchasing anti-flood devices, especially if multiple flood-prevention devices need to be placed during an emergency: our CLOSE flood barrier door can be placed starting from 7″.
  • 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.
  • Of suitable height to eliminate architectural barriers for disabled persons pursuant to former Law 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 to facilitate the pressurization of the 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.

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

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 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.
