Timber / Wood Flood Resilient Doors
A new product for flood resilience, the (bespoke) flood resistant hardwood door. Each door is manufactured specifically to fit the door frame intended to be protected.
Our new Flood Resistant Door has been specifically designed to satisfy the Environment Agency Water exclusion and Water inclusion strategy. Conforming to these strategies is absolutely key to ensure the well being of any owner/occupier of a property during a real flood event.
We are always trying to improve the range of products we are able to offer, and after careful consultation with Utility Companies, Local Authorities , the Insurance Industry , the Environment Agency and of course homeowners, we have developed and can now install a bespoke product that does not require installation at the first sign of flood, a product that doesn’t need to be removed once the flood has subsided, a product that works passively to protect your home or property. Designed and manufactured locally, we believe this aesthetically pleasing solution perfectly complements the flood guards range of products.
The door is manufactured to fit your particular door frame and is installed by trained professionals with many years experience in fitting these types of products, it can be fitted within a day and give peace of mind for years to come. The door comes with a 1 year manufacturing guarantee as well as a 1 year Installation Guarantee

Why choose a timber flood door over a plastic upvc or composite door?
Timber doors are great for not only listed buildings and conservation areas but general properties as well, this is because they are aesthetically better looking than upvc and composite and they can be made to replicate any new or existing style required.
Timber doors will last!!, they are all made in Accoya which has a 50 year guarantee against rotting when it is above ground. for more information on Accoya please see the attached link https://www.accoya.com/why-accoya/benefits/ Yes it will require a bit of TLC (treatment) over the years but because Accoya does not move the stain/paint finish lasts alot longer between coats. Yes it will require a service occasionally to ensure it is in full working order same as the upvc and composite doors but the general life span of a upvc/composite door is approx 10 years before it may need replacing (this can vary depending on how much use it takes) where as the timber door will keep on going, the lock may need changing? after a longer period and also the seals? but this will be a minor cost in the long run compared to fitting a new door every time.
See actual door below installed for a local authority (Yes its really a flood door!!) see more examples on our PDF file below

Customer Testimonial and photos
The river came out from 5.30pm to 9pm and again during the early hours. Not a drop came into the house. We're very pleased with how the door works - it means I have a less stressful life when it rains heavily as it did on 23/12/13.
