FULL W

flood barrier

Deployment in as little as 3 seconds

It completely seals the window against flooding.

(Patent) Fully enclosed flood protection safety device for windows. It consists of a foldable flood protection 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 aluminium construction with standard silver/natural anodised finish
  • A2 Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Special gasket for fresh or salt water (your choice). Replaceable

Available sizes

Maximum dimensions*:

  • 205 x 100 H

Minimum dimensions*:

  • 45 x 40 H

*Measurements in centimetres. Possible widths for the specified height

PLEASE NOTE: for greater widths, it can be connected by a fixed post to other devices, including removable ones.

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 underground in houses and villas, as well as garages or vehicle shelters, shopping centres, logistics warehouses and storage facilities, artisan workshops and industrial premises.
  • This flood barrier can be placed in front of windows as a safety measure when necessary.
  • It provides excellent protection against hail and against 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 ALUMINIUM and AISI 316 STAINLESS STEEL materials

Our patented system applies sealing pressure by compressing the gaskets against the side reveals in a smooth movement, potentially using just ONE finger, without unnecessary effort. The barrier widens gradually to the correct extended width without contracting again.

The operating lever handle has an ergonomic grip for improved hold and better force distribution. It can also be extended to help people with less strength, or where the vertical gasket is thicker within manufacturing tolerances, or the side reveals are irregular. It is intended for opening and closing from the outside; skilled users can also use it 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 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 5 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.
