Resisting The Floods
Sheerframe flood doors have
been independently accredited and Kitemarked to meet
the specifications of PAS
1188-1 (Flood Protection
Products Part 1: Building
Aperture Products) for single
and double doors.
At the respected test centre at
HR Wallingford, inward opening
Sheerframe PVCu doors recorded
“no leakage” at 0.6 metre external
submersion under static test over
48 hours.
The doors also remained watertight under dynamic tests simulating waves and rapidly moving
water. French doors are also
approved with just 0.001 litres
of ingress after 48 hours, which
compares most favourably to the
standard test pass leak rate of up
to 1000 ml/m/hour.
Sheerframe flood doors not
only hold water out but, unlike
the alternative of flood boards,
they function easily and look like
normal doors. In addition, they are
fitted with specialist hardware to
provide near impregnable watertightness and achieve PAS 24
‘virtually airtight as
well as watertight’
levels of security. When locked,
the Sheerframe flood doors are
fully primed to prevent water ingress and virtually airtight as well
as watertight. The doors can be
internally bead glazed to achieve
exceptional U values down to 0.9
W/m2K when fitted with 44mm
deep triple glazing.
“There’s a real market demand
for flood doors,” comments David
Strang, Group Key Account Director at Sheerframe Ltd. “It is said
that UK properties are more at
risk of being flooded than being
burgled and over five million
properties are considered at risk
according to the insurance industry. Following the 2007 floods the
Pitt report estimated flood damage
cost in the UK as worse than anywhere in the world that year, with
insurance industry costs of over £3
billion.”
