Threshold risk
The likelihood that floodwater crosses or bypasses an opening threshold (garage, door, slider, or lanai line) during storm surge, heavy rain, or king tide events.
Flood Protection Glossary
Plain-language definitions to help homeowners evaluate barrier fit and assessment readiness with confidence.
Quote readiness
Whether enough opening measurements, threshold photos, and site context exist for Rubicon to issue an accurate panel-count proposal — not a photo-only estimate.
Deployment window
The practical time available to stage and install protective barriers before storm landfall or peak tide — a key factor for seasonal SWFL homeowners.
Barrier placement zone
The vertical and horizontal area where stackable aluminum panels would mount across an opening — confirmed with field measurement, not from photos alone.
Side mounting surface
The wall or jamb area where permanent U-channel posts anchor — must be structurally sound and measured before quoting.
Opening width
The clear width of the protected opening used to plan panel count and post spacing — verified on site during assessment.
