The Need for Flood Protection...
Flood protection products are becoming a major necessity to many households and businesses in the UK.
The catastrophic flooding events witnessed during the summer of 2007, winter and now the summer of 2008 have again highlighted the short comings of many flood defence systems in the UK.
The nature of flooding events is changing too with a significant increase in flash flooding caused by torrential rainfall coupled with blocked or inadequate surface water drainage. This type of flooding can occur anywhere and is not limited to areas that are traditionally at-risk from river or coastal flooding.
According to the Environment Agency, over 2 million properties and 5 million people are at risk from flooding across the UK however, recent reports show that only a small minority have acted to ensure they are adequately protected against future floods.
Floodgate offers a range of flood protection door barriers as well as an extension system for multiple door bariers and Vent Guards to protect air bricks. |
