Flood Barrier

Deployment in as little as 2 seconds: the fastest RAPID barrier

Full-cover transparent flood barrier for windows.

(Patent) A transparent, full-coverage flood barrier for basement windows. Its mechanism is simple, and deployment is just as simple and quick.

Materials:

  • Made of a special plastic material suitable for both fresh and saltwater
  • Anticorodal aluminium with silver/natural anodised finish as standard
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions* (/F):

  • 170 x 40 H
  • 110 x 100 H

Maximum dimensions* (/S):

  • 170 x 40 H
  • 110 x 60 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 23 x 20 H

*Measurements in centimetres. Possible widths for the specified height

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 a flood protection device, especially if multiple devices need to be deployed during an emergency: the FULL CLEAR model can be deployed in as little as 2 seconds and is the fastest ever.
  • Suitable for basement or underground openings in houses and villas, as well as garages or vehicle shelters, shopping centres, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • It can be placed in front of windows as a security measure when necessary.
  • It provides excellent protection against hail, as well as against objects carried by tornadoes or strong winds, even during storms.
  • 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’m choosing the FULL clear because the designers have solved these issues for me:

PERIMETER SEALING PROFILES

Designed to ensure that the surfaces of the access jambs are smooth, straight, and perpendicular, whether used to protect the space from flooding or for front-to-wall mounting on an exterior wall.

With a single motion, press the perimeter gaskets into place while positioning the special panel.

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

  • 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 feature is the option to lock it with padlocks (optional)

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 only 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 2 YEARS for gaskets
  • Up to 10 years on Anticorodal ALUMINIUM and AISI 316 STAINLESS STEEL materials

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

Lack of light in the basement
  • The lack of natural light in a basement or cellar makes it necessary to use artificial lighting, possibly for several days if the weather alert continues
  • Visual pollution is a pressing issue that must be addressed to prevent it from negatively affecting people’s quality of life

Minimal, elegant aluminium profiles that can be painted if required and fixed either within the side reveals or to the front of the opening.

  • Avoid the lengthy process of pressing the panel against the guide rail and/or lower surface with screws or screw-operated handwheels.
  • Rigid side mechanisms that, when the panel is wide, prevent both clamps from being fully engaged
  • Unsightly pressure components
  • 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.
