Floodtite - Airbrick Flooding Cover
Airbricks are small bricks with holes near to ground level which supply ventilation to the area under your floor boards. They are essential in the normal construction of the house in order that the house can ‘breathe’… BUT in times of flood they can let in up to 50,000 litres of water an hour. You can prevent this with the FLOODTITE Airbrick Covers – specially designed to stop the ingress of water through these often forgotten vents. Floodtite Systems offers protection for both single and double airbricks to provide you with the correct solution for your home`s individual needs.
The Airbrick Cover consists of a plate of plastic with a waterproof memory foam seal to produce a watertight fit to the airbrick. Our airbrick covers have passed stringent independent tests for leakage to achieve BSI Kitemark Certification.
The covers require either two or four fixings into the brickwork depending on size, either side of the airbrick. This leaves the airbrick itself undamaged with no chance of it breaking or of it becoming clogged with leaves and debris.
The two or four holes are drilled by a local builder or any competent DIY person. In times of a flood alert the covers are simply attached to the wall by tightening the integrated T-handle screws supplied onto the wall fixings.
The protection covers and fixings are very small and neat, unlike many others on the market, and they are independent of the airbrick itself, so there is no chance of the airbrick breaking by overtightening or of it becoming blocked. Click here for fitting instructions pdf icon
When the Airbrick Covers are removed, there is nothing to advertise the fact that your home is flood protected.
