PROTECTING AIRBRICKS
Ventguards
Covering your airbricks
Even a small amount of water in your home or business can cause untold damage and it’s not just doorways that provide an easy route for water to enter a property.
How does it work?
Ventguard is a simple, effective airbrick flood protection cover designed to help prevent floodwater entering a property through vulnerable ventilation bricks.
Made from durable glass-filled engineered plastic, the Ventguard surround is permanently fixed to the wall around the airbrick. When flooding is expected, the system can be quickly sealed in seconds by manually inserting the quick-release bungs into both sides of the unit, creating a watertight barrier.
Ventguard is available in two sizes to suit standard and larger airbricks:
Single Ventguard (SAVC)
Available in red, grey or white, the single Ventguard measures 330mm x 230mm and is suitable for covering a standard single airbrick up to 260mm x 150mm.
Double Ventguard (DAVC)
Available in white, the double Ventguard measures 330mm x 340mm and is designed to protect oversized airbricks up to 260mm x 270mm.
Ventguards have been independently tested to BSI PAS 1188-1:2014, providing reassurance of their suitability as part of a property flood protection strategy.
SMART AirBricks
The permanent solution
The SMART AirBrick has been designed to replace existing airbricks. As a “fit and forget” product you can relax knowing that it will operate automatically when the waters rise.
How does it work?
The SMART AirBrick has been designed to allow air to pass through freely but not water. It features simple flood activated valves that ensure compliance with BS493:1995 as an airbrick but, as soon as water enters the brick, the valves are forced closed preventing flood water from passing through.
The SMART AirBrick is available in terracotta red or stone grey to match your brickwork and has the following dimensions:
W: 213mm H: 62mm D: 58mm
Two SMART AirBricks can be stacked on top of each other to replace double height air bricks.
SMART AirBricks have been independently tried and tested to BSI PAS1188-1.
