Designed for buildings where drilling into the structure isn’t feasible, these panels use a high-strength compression system to create a watertight seal, keeping floodwaters out while maintaining visibility and aesthetics.
The compression beams and FRA flood barrier panels are made of aluminum. This makes the locking deck beam easy to handle and more cost-efficient to ship than most steel shoring beams while offering equal strength. The e-fitting ends easily and securely lock into track systems, and the beams are fully adjustable to 9.3″ and weigh only 16lbs.
When traditional flood barriers aren’t an option, our compression flood barrier panels provide a secure solution for protecting windows and doors without the need for permanent anchors or structural modifications.
Our compression flood panels are perfect for storefronts, historic buildings, leased spaces, and any location where preserving the integrity of the structure is essential. We use the same marine-grade materials, durable design, and easy-to-install technology with the following benefits:

How do compression panels work?
These panels use a compression sealing system, typically with gaskets and pressure clamps, to create a tight, waterproof seal against floodwaters.
Are compression flood panels reusable?
Yes, these panels are designed for repeated use and can be quickly installed and removed as needed for flood protection.
Can they be customized for different openings?
Yes, we customize all of our flood barrier panels to fit a variety of doorways, windows, entryways, and openings.
Do compression flood barrier panels require maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is needed. We recommend a routine annual maintenance to inspect gaskets, seals, and other components for wear and tear, or increased maintenance during seasons that are particularly active with storms, floods, and hurricanes. When not in use, store panels in a dry area.
How much water pressure can these panels withstand?
Our compression flood barrier panels can withstand several feet of water pressure in extreme weather and hurricane-force winds. We conduct routine testing for quality and performance.
Are they better than sandbags or other flood protection methods?
Yes, compression panels provide a more reliable, long-term solution compared to sandbags, which require labor-intensive setup and often need to be disposed of after every use.
Where can I purchase compression flood barrier panels?
The first step is to contact us and speak to one of our flood experts who will help identify the level of flood protection your property requires and begin the process of creating custom flood barriers specifically for your building.
