How to use the Floodbrick Cover

Our protective covers are compact and neat, setting them apart from many others on the market. The best part? They work independently of the airbrick, ensuring there's no risk of the air brick breaking due to over-tightening or getting blocked. Plus, when you take off the air brick covers, you won't find any permanent fixings left behind.

Let's talk installation – it's a breeze! All you need are two fixing points. Pop those plastic plugs into the air brick, one in the top right corner and the other in the bottom left corner. Then, slide the bolts through the holes in the cover, aligning them with the plugs in the airbrick. Give those bolts a good, snug tightening with the allen key provided, and voila – a secure and strong grip.

Remember, they are not meant to be a permanent fixture. Once the floodwaters have receded and the coast is clear, it's time to remove the air brick cover. This simple act allows the sweet flow of air back into your space through the existing air brick. Forget to do so, and you might end up with some unwanted damp inside your home.
