When considering flood protection is it essential that you fully understand how it works and how to deploy it quickly in the time arises. Our goal is to clarify how the Floodshield Barrier works, illustrating how this inventive door flood barrier guarantees the protection and dryness of your home or business.
How does the barrier work?
Using the force of floodwater to to stop it entering your property
The Floodshield Door Barrier is crafted to protect the single inward opening doors of your property against water intrusion. It functions on a straightforward yet profoundly effective concept: using the pressure of floodwater to form a strong, watertight seal around your door to block floodwater entry. Distinguished by its simplicity of deployment and the extensive protection it provides, this barrier is an essential component in your arsenal for flood defence.
How does the barrier clip in place?
Effortless installation, no need for tools, permanent alterations, or technical expertise
The barrier includes adjustable clips that firmly fasten to the flat exterior of your door frame. These clips are engineered to fit a broad spectrum of door dimensions and designs, guaranteeing a tight seal essential for efficient flood defence. Tailoring the clips to match your door's specifications is simple, ensuring the installation is swift and hassle-free.
How does it stop water entering the property?
A watertight seal with the door frame sealing off any possible entry points
This sealing capability is a result of the barrier's design, incorporating a pliable yet resilient material that moulds to the unique contours of your door frame, leaving no space unsealed. The increasing pressure from ascending floodwaters intensifies the seal's firmness, adding an extra safeguard to maintain your property's dryness.

Let customers speak for us
I'm unable to review the Flood Cubes yet as the water receded just before we needed to put them to the test. However, Floodshield who supplied them were great. They were out of stock of the item we ordered but immediately contacted us and offered to supply the Flood Cubes instead and hold the price at that of the lower priced item we had ordered. They arrived the next day.
I place the barrier along the Door and it stops water going into the garage and saves a lot of mopping,
A good old fashioned service company with a series of products which provide a solution to a sometimes emergency need.
I recently ordered 2 Floodshield barriers for my UPVC and wood front doors. Anthony at Floodshield was extremely helpful and swift to respond to my various queries. The product is light, quick to deploy and simple to adjust for a perfect fit. It appears to provide a robust, watertight seal when fastened firmly to the doors. I hope I never have to use them!
These are great to have at hand when flooding is an issue. They are light , easy to store and very easy to use. I have flood doors which are getting old and during the recent floods I used them to block any leaks around them. Worked really well.
So I ordered another box to have on standby.
Arrived on time, no issues with the order. Haven’t used yet, just in case needed.
We were caught out by the recent heavy rain causing water to run into our garage. Friends of ours came to our rescue with floodsacs which worked a treat and we have now bought more incase of further problems.
We have occasional problems with drains backing up during heavy rain which can cause water to enter our home. After trying sand bags which don't always work, we purchased a Flooshield. Lightweight, easy to fit and seems to create a good seal. Hopefully our problems will now be resolved.
Haven't had to use them, but it will sadly happen, confident in your product. We compared different types of products, we were confident this product will suit our needs.
Kind regards
Worked perfectly when we had flood, and the peace of mind knowing they were there, ready to be deloyed quickly, was worth there weight in gold
