Door Vent - Coming Soon!
USING THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND SIMPLE SOLUTION AVAILABLE
When a house floods, often the first place water enters is through
the air vents. These airbricks are essential in many buildings as they
allow under-floor ventilation for wooden floors.
Snorkel Vent is a simple device that is bonded over the airbrick (2). The louvers (1) allow continuous ventilation even during a flood!
All other airbrick covers need fitted, closed or sealed just before a flood.….but you can sleep easy with a Snorkel Vent!
A builder is not required. Simple to follow instructions mean any able-bodied person can fit a Snorkel Vent in 5 minutes! They can easily be painted to suit your home.
Unlike replacement "smart-bricks" Snorkel Vent requires no maintenance as there are no moving parts that can get clogged with debris. Made from acrylic capped ABS - as used for caravan roofs.
In floods over 90cm it is recommended water should be allowed to enter the building otherwise structural damage may occur. Snorkel Vent is the only product available with a safety overflow feature.
Various models and a range of accessories available to purchase online now.
Do not forget flood water will try to find its way into your house through ground floor toilets and doors. Consider these flood guards: toilet seals or stoppers, sandbags, or other flood barriers for your front and back doors.
