The Drop Down Flood Barrier offers a clean, unobtrusive flood defence solution for doorways and openings. When not in use, the barrier is stored discreetly above the head of the opening — completely out of the way and invisible at floor level. At a moment’s notice, direct drive electric motors smoothly lower the barrier into position, forming an efficient and dependable flood defence.
