Why Choose Vista Panels for Flood Protection Doors?
On Boxing Day 2015, many homes were devastated in floods across Yorkshire. Thousands of residents were evacuated, and local communities, alongside army recruits, worked together in the extensive clean-up operation. In the wake of this disaster, the Environmental Agency created an action plan to protect homes and businesses in the area. As part of the reinforcement project, StormMeister Flood Protection contacted Vista Panels for our expertise in door solutions. StormMeister, a world leader in flood protection products, fitted our PVCu flood doors with the patented StormMeister Active Flood Seal, offering unrivalled protection against flood water.
The Role of Vista Panels in Flood Protection
Flooding has become an ever-present risk for many regions, especially after major weather events. To mitigate the pressure of flood water on buildings and properties, flood barriers and other flood protection solutions are essential. With our longstanding reputation for quality, Vista Panels has become the trusted composite door supplier for commercial properties, flood barriers, and flood-resistant door solutions.
We were selected by StormMeister to supply 69 PVCu infill panels, which were then fitted into StormMeister’s bespoke door frame, creating flood-proof doors that protect against severe water flow in real flood situations. These doors are designed with active flood sealing, ensuring zero leakage when in place.
Why PVCu Flood Doors Are Essential for Flood Protection
Best Products for Flood Protection
Vista Panels has long been recognised as one of the leading door manufacturers in the UK. Our uPVC panels are perfect for reinforcing flood doors due to their excellent thermal efficiency, flood resistance, and versatility. We manufacture these panels with E.H.D.F.R.A. polystyrene bonded to the uPVC skin, using specially formulated heat and moisture-resistant adhesives. This makes them ideal for use in flood defence systems.
Our flood products ensure that the doors hold up under the most intense water pressure. These solutions are particularly effective in the United Kingdom, where flooding can cause significant damage. Our partnership with StormMeister has helped us integrate passive seals and flood gates into the door’s structure, creating the best flood protection technology available.
Testing and Certification
At Vista Panels, we understand the importance of product testing in ensuring that our doors meet BS EN and PAS standards. All of our flood panels are tested rigorously to ensure they withstand the flow of water and the pressure of flood water without compromising safety. In collaboration with StormMeister, our doors have passed pressure testing and leakage tests, ensuring their flood resistance in all real flood situations.
Flood Protection Strategy for Homes and Businesses
Flooding can have devastating effects on both homeowners and business owners. The strategy to protect homes and businesses includes not only flood barriers but also flood windows, which can significantly reduce water ingress. StormMeister flood doors are part of a larger flood defence system, which also includes reinforced flood gates, flood barrier systems, and water pressure control systems.
At Vista Panels, we aim to provide customers with a full range of flood protection solutions. By offering doors with active flood sealing and StormMeister flood doors, we ensure that both commercial and residential properties are flood-proof. Our products offer peace of mind knowing that flood protection doors have been tested in real-world scenarios and certified to withstand heavy water pressure and flooding.
Ongoing Efforts to Strengthen Local Infrastructure
In addition to offering products like flood doors, Vista Panels also actively supports ongoing efforts to strengthen local infrastructure. After the devastating floods, flood defences have been improved, with river banks strengthened and trees planted on flood plains as a natural way to absorb excess water. Damaged roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure are being repaired and reinforced to further protect communities from future flooding.
Along with local flood support groups, councils, and the general public, Vista Panels continues to play an active role in reducing the risk of future flooding. By supplying flood protection doors, we contribute to the greater effort of making properties safer and more resilient against water-related disasters.
