The system is easily deployed and lightweight, but robust. Specially designed extrusions provide optimal sealing for reliable flood resilience.
Flood Barriers are a cost effective option for door and other types of aperture defence. Barriers can either be bought ‘off the shelf’ in a range of predetermined widths or can be ‘custom made’ to suit the specific property requirements.

Flood Barriers are a cost effective option for door and other types of aperture defence. Barriers can either be bought ‘off the shelf’ in a range of predetermined widths or can be ‘custom made’ to suit the specific property requirements. There are seven fixing systems for the M3 Floodtec Defender Barrier:
This barrier fixing system is used where there is a protruding step or external hinge. It is most commonly used for patio doors.
The barrier has side and bottom plates welded onto the barrier and are about 65mm in depth and 50mm width from the actual barrier itself.
Where there is no frame exposed, the barrier can be secured using permanently located vertical side rails. These can be situated either in the reveal of the doorway, or as face fix (front of brickwork).
Side rails can be powder coated to match the exterior. The barrier then simply slots into the rails and is fixed in place using M8 Socket Head Cap Screws.
This fixing system can be used in situations where there is no step, or where aesthetics are not an issue. Can be face fix or reveal fix and measured accordingly.
A U-shaped frame is fixed permanently on the brickwork either side of the aperture. Side rails can be powder coated to match the exterior. The barrier then simply slots into the rails and is fixed in place using M8 Socket Head Cap Screws.
Direct Fixing into Brick (direct into the wall). Being discrete and virtually invisible, this is the preferred fixing option, suitable for relatively flush brickwork or render.
The nutserts are inserted into the wall (note: not the mortar joint) by drilling a 10mm hole, and the nutserts remain in situ permanently. The barrier is then simply fixed to these inserts using M8 Socket Head Cap Screws.
The Clip-On Barrier is designed to be ‘clipped’ into position on a wall mounted aluminium frame without the use of tools or separate fixings making easy and quick to deploy.
To deploy, ‘lugs’ welded to the bottom of the Barrier are positioned in receiving brackets on the bottom of the wall mounted frame. Each side of the Barrier features a ‘flip over’ clip device. To secure the Barrier in position, these are clipped over the holding bracket on the wall mounted frame & closed.

The incorporation of Anti-flood Airbricks to factory build modules followed by Defender flood barriers enabled developer L&G Modular to fulfil planning requirements
After the flood event in February 2022 the decision was made to implement Property Flood Protection
Following the flood events of 2020 several properties in Shrewsbury opted to invest in flood defence
M3 floodtec designed and installed a flood protection portfolio to maintain the Corinthia Hotel building against flash flooding
Prone to flooding from the River Severn, Merrythought Village chose us to provide flood protection products
At M3 Flooodtec we have developed a Swing Hinge Defender Barrier System that can be used in conjunction with Emergency Escape routes
During flood events, the entire building can be surrounded with flood waters and therefore all aspects of the site had to be assessed for flood resilience.
