Abstract
A flood barrier includes a panel, manufactured from aluminium, which is fitted tightly into the brickwork on either side of the doorway. This sprung fit causes the panel to bend or bow outwards creating an outwardly curved panel to resist the flood water. The panel is braced in position by an adjustable top rail which fits over the top edge of the panel when in the curved position. The panel may be secured in the doorway by a number of screws situated down either side of the panel. The panel may be sealed around the edges using mastic and/or foam. This use of sealing will negate the effects of uneven walls.

Specification: Home Flood Barrier Kit
General Description:
This invention relates to a means of preventing houses from being flooded by water up to 750mm deep. (2ft 6" approximately) The depth of 750mm is selected so that the home may be used as normal; once the barrier kit has been fitted i.e. it is quite practical to stride over a 750mm high barrier.
The Kit consists of an aluminium panel 1.5mm thick. The panel is 750mm high and cut to the customers' measurements of the doorway to be protected. A top rail is supplied to protect the top of the barrier. The rail is 50mm X 25mm steel channel 800mm long. It has an adjustable screw at each end so that it can fit over the panel and be fitted tightly to the brickwork on each side of the doorway. A tube of waterproof mastic and a mastic gun are provided with the kit, together with a spray can of waterproof, heavy-duty foam. -See Appendix Photo No: 1 The Panel The panel of the barrier is 750mm high and its length is individually cut to the measurement of the doorway supplied, plus 5mm.
It is 1.5mm thick so that the panel can be sprung into the doorway and will bend forwards approximately 40-45mm. The panel fits across the opening from the rebate of the doorframe and the brickwork to the rebate on the opposite side of the opening.
The panel is supplied with 4 holes 3mm dia, drilled two each side so that when fitted the panel can be secured to the door frame with 2 small 3mm dia screws each side. The screw holes are sealed with a small blob of mastic in each hole to prevent leaking.
The fact that the panel is sprung into place creating a curved front to the flood, helps create a tight fit of the panel to the doorway. Any pressure from floodwater has the effect of pushing the panel outwards in on effort to flatten the curved outer face of the panel. It uses the same principle as a "pre-stressed" concrete beam that is curved under its tension wires. When a load is applied downwards the beam is in compression and tends to spread, rather then be in tension if a load was applied to an un-tensioned beam. This has the effect of pushing the edges of the panel into the sealed rebate. -See Appendix Photo No: 2 and Sketches No: 1 and 2.
The Top Rail The function of the top rail is to protect the panel and add strength and rigidity when the barrier is in position.
The rail is made from a steel channel 50mm X 25mm in section. The ends of the 800mm rail are closed, with a 6mm hole drilled and tapped through the end piece to take the two adjusting screws. A slot 2mm wide is left at the rear edge of the rail to fit over the panel.
Page 2 The two adjusting screws are screwed into the tapped end of the rail so that the length of the rail can be secured in position in the doorway. The adjusting screws can be set so that the top rail fits any doorway opening. -See Appendix Photo No: 3 and Sketches No: 3 and 4.
Scribing and Sealing Sealing problems may be caused by uneven brickwork or steeply sloping doorsills that create gaps at the side or the bottom of the Panel. These problems can easily be overcome by scribing" the panel to fit the door opening before sealing with mastic again.
Hold a soft pencil or fibre tip pen flat against the brickwork so that the tip touches the Panel in the rebate with the doorframe. Carefully slide the pencil down the panel so that the contours of the uneven brickwork are transferred to the panel and cut out areas marked so that there is a good fit to the brickwork. See Appendix Photo No: 4 and Photo No: 5 and Sketches No: 5 and 6.
