As the threat of flood events continues to rise, the focus on flood mitigation options to protect homes and businesses becomes more of a priority. Though flood barriers and perimeter systems that require deployment are commonly used, there is growing attention towards passive floodproofing systems for commercial and mixed-use properties. These systems do not require human intervention before a storm and are always ready to protect.
“Passive systems are a no-brainer for flood protection,” says Brian Johnson, Vice President of Sales for Floodproofing.com’s Floodproof Window Division. “It doesn’t get more passive than floodproof windows which are designed right into the structure.”
Fenex and Floodproofing.com have developed a patented floodproof window system designed to withstand water loads and impact. These systems are always ready to protect a structure from flood water and debris while adding a beautiful design feature to the building.
The new website, www.floodproofwindows.com, highlights the engineering, testing, and technology involved with creating these state-of-the-art products. Real-life testing materials and case studies show the work that went into ensuring they meet standards, as well as showcases applications already in use today.
“The design community needs to know about the possibilities of using these systems when working in a floodplain,” adds Johnson. “These floodproofing systems are the future of flood protection, and hopefully this website helps get the word out.”
