Non-compliant doors of any type, including flood doors, are not suitable as fire exit doors and therefore alternative means of fire escape must be available.<\/p>\n<p>A 4.2m-wide tank has been provided at our testing facility to allow us to test larger products, such as our Heavy-Duty Industrial Flood Gates and Barriers. These products can be combined with our zero-threshold baseplate at commercial properties to allow vehicles to drive through with ease, while also ensuring the ability to provide effective flood protection.<\/p>\n<p>We have also built extra-tall testing tanks which allow us to test products up to a height of 2.1m. We have already tested our StormMeister\u00ae Rapid Assembly Flood Barrier to 1.8m height of water, double the industry standard for flood protection products. We have had great success in testing our barriers at this height and found them to require no additional compression to resist the extreme pressures of that level of floodwater.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_113066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-113066\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-113066 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Flood Protection products\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/StormMeister-2.1-Metre-Depth-Testing-Tank.-IMG_3671-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-113066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">StormMeister\u00ae 2.1 Metre Depth Testing Tank<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>StormMeister\u00ae has tested our inward opening uPVC flood door to 900mm of simulated floodwater (a video of this can seen on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCG7mbTVLTsilawPG-WErdwQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>YouTube page<\/u><\/a>, outperforming all others on the market.
