Frequently asked questions

How do removable flood barriers protect doorways?

U-channel side posts receive stacked aluminum planks that seal at the threshold. Panels deploy before the event and store between storms.

Is photo-only sizing enough for removable barriers?

Photos support a preliminary Visual Fit Check. Panel count and install planning require on-site width, height, and mounting-surface measurement.
