The SMART Airbrick has been designed as a flood proof alternative to the standard airbrick used for building ventilation. 

Unlike traditional airbricks which are susceptible to water penetration during flooding, the Smart airbrick features an innovative design that activates automatically preventing water from gaining access to buildings in the event of rising flood water, while still allowing unrestricted air flow under normal conditions.

• Choose from Terrecota or Grey models
  
• Dimensions: 225mm x 75mm
• Easy to install – ‘Fit and Forget’
• Permanently fitted and minimum maintenance required
• No mesh to resrict airflow which could cause damp and dry rot
  
• Tried and tested in real floods and in over 350 hours of independent tests
  
• Very effective

Smart air bricks are invaluable as they can be fitted in advance as a permanent preventative flood solution unlike other methods of flood protection which are deployed during flooding.

How does the SMART Air brick work

As flood water rises the built in anti-flooding devices rise to the top preventing the water from flowing through the air brick. During heavy winds the Smart airbrick is also activated stopping fast airflow beneath the property retaining heat and saving money.

The Smart airbrick contains a flood activated valve that allows unrestricted airflow complying to BS493:1995 but blocks the movement of water. Since all power requirements are sourced from the floodwater the Smart brick will operate independently from all the house systems.

How to install Smart Airbricks

Installing Smart air bricks couldn’t be easier, just remove any existing standard airbricks and replace them with a SMART Airbrick.
