From storm warning to dry floor, in five scenes

  1. 1 · The forecast

    A storm is coming.

    In Southwest Florida the question isn't if water reaches the driveway, it's which opening it finds first. Usually that's the garage.

  2. 2 · The water

    Water looks for the lowest opening.

    Thresholds, slider tracks and lanai edges are where floodwater gets in. Sandbags leave gaps and have to be rebuilt every storm.

  3. 3 · The measurement

    We measure your actual opening.

    A Rubicon specialist measures the width, the height you need, the threshold and the walls the posts mount to. The quote comes after that.

  4. 4 · The barrier

    Planks stack in, 8 inches at a time.

    Labeled 6063-T6 aluminum planks drop between the side posts. EPDM seals press against the floor and each other. Three to nine planks, 25 to 73 inches.

  5. 5 · The outcome

    The water stays on the outside.

    When the storm passes, the planks come out, get rinsed and go back in storage until next time. Same system, every season.

Start with the opening

What are you trying to protect?

Every opening has its own width, threshold and mounting surface. Pick the one that worries you most.

What you can expect from Rubicon

  • Measured before quote. Every opening is measured on site before you see a price.
  • Built for the opening. Sized to your garage, door, slider or lanai, not a generic kit.
  • Removable. Planks are stored between storms. Only slim side channels stay.
  • Clear about limits. A barrier protects an opening. It doesn't fix slab seepage, drain backup or water deeper than the stack.
