Why is it raining so much?.Global warming is melting millions of tonnes of ice so water is released into the sea where it evaporoates and, as warmer air holds more water, when it rains it pours.
What can I do to prevent my home from flooding? Flood Resistance is about reducing the risk of water getting into a property. While you can never eliminate the risk of flooding entirely you can reduce the risk of water getting in to your home or business.
Door Barrier Tape and Weather Stripping are primarily designed to seal gaps around doors and windows enough to prevents drafts, cold air, and moisture from entering your home. When I put tap water 15cm (6") up my locked back door door fitted with weather strips in just 20 seconds 4.4 litres, about 1 gallon, of water flooded in!
That’s more than 2 big 2L family size bottles of cola every 20 seconds! Imagine the damage that would cause to your home, holiday property or business and the stress / trauma to all, especially to children and the most vulnerable.
Traditionally to protect your doors from floods you'd have to invest in flood barriers, such as flood doors, flood gates / flood door panels or more temporary emergency measures like inflatable sandbags or quick dams to bolster door insulation.
Maybe, like us, you are turned off by them as you consider your property to be at low risk of flooding & cannot justify their:
Floodlock® Flood Trap Door Barriers are not just any Door Barrier with Self-Adhesive Backing, They Can Reduce Flooding by 95% & Save enegy
If you think about it most doors are strong enough to withstand the pressure of 0.5m (1.6ft) deep flood, so we decided to focus on strengthening the areas around the doors through which water enters. While Door Barrier Tape and Weather Stripping are effective against drafts and air infiltration, they could not provide sufficient protection against heavy water pressure and flow. While securing a patent we invested in exploring and developing ways to create a more robust and specialized flood water resistant door barrier.
Flood Trap Tape, covered by our patent number GB2509732, is a composite tape that seals your doors from water and air. It activates automatically when it touches water, blocking out up to 95% of the elements on test. It is easy to use, cost-effective, reusable (until contaminated), and eco-friendly consuming fewer resources than most alternatives over its life time. Unlike sandbags and other temporary solutions, Flood Trap Tape can be applied invisibly in advance and left in place, giving you peace of mind and protection from floods, without advertising your concerns.
Flood Trap Tape is a high-quality and high-performance flood reducing product, developed and tested over years of research. It is an excellent choice for flood-proofing and insulating your doors. Worry less about floods damaging your property and stressing you out. Try Flood Trap Tape today and see how it can keep your home drier and more energy-efficient.
