At Floodmatik, our approach to flood security is simple: quality and reliability matter most. While meeting the British Standard is essential, we recognise that the minimum threshold isn’t always robust enough for today’s ever-changing challenges that the UK are facing.
That’s why our passive barrier system is engineered and certified to outperform the core performance requirements of BS 851188 by 25%. We built Floodmatik to be the most reliable and future-proof solution available for your property.
The Necessary Safety Margin
The BS 851188 specification provides a necessary benchmark for safety in the UK. However, the standard measures the minimum allowable performance. Given the increasing intensity of modern flood events, relying solely on this minimum introduces unnecessary risk. Our 750mm Height Advantage
Physical height is a clear measure of fortification. Where most competitive automatic guards provide shielding up to 600mm, we engineered Floodmatik for greater resilience:
- Height and Stability: We provide 750mm of certified security—a full 25% increase over the common industry standard. This additional height provides a necessary buffer, ensuring stability during high-impact surge conditions.
- Performance Correlation: This advanced height and reinforced design contribute directly to our certified 25% outperformance across overall core operational metrics.
Deployment Reliability: The Preemptive Mechanism
The greatest risk in any security system is a failure to deploy in time. Conventional systems relying on power or manual intervention carry inherent risk. We eliminated it completely.
- Market-Exclusive Pre-Activation: Our advanced system operates proactively. The Hidden Water Well Sump fills with early rain run-off before the main flood reaches the door.
- Guaranteed Seal: This run-off water triggers the buoyancy-driven lift, automatically sealing the barrier. This ensures the fortification is established and watertight preemptively, removing the risk associated with human error or electrical failure entirely.
Materials and Longevity
Our barriers are built to last:
- Robust Construction: We use premium marine-grade materials throughout the construction. This choice ensures exceptional structural integrity and corrosion resistance, guaranteeing the system reliably withstands pressure up to 750mm for years to come.
- Low Maintenance: Since the system relies on simple physics (buoyancy) rather than electronics, the cost and effort of long-term maintenance are minimal.
A Reliable Investment in Safety
By choosing Floodmatik, you are investing in a system that is certified, engineered for endurance, and designed to perform when it matters most. That 25% performance advantage is our commitment to your peace of mind.
