How Permanent Flood Doors works

Always in Place for 24/7 Protection

Unlike removable barriers that require advance warning and manual setup, FRA permanent flood doors function as your everyday building door while providing passive flood protection at all times. When floodwaters rise, the door is already in place and sealed, requiring no human intervention to activate.

  • Passive Flood Protection
    No manual deployment required. The door is always installed and ready to protect.
  • Factory-Tested Performance
    Tested at both 4-foot and 10-foot water heights, achieving up to 90% lower leakage than ANSI/FEMA 2510-2020 standards.
  • One-Piece Perimeter Gasket
    No mitered joints for a superior watertight seal that eliminates common failure points.
  • ADA-Compliant Design
    Door and threshold designed for full ADA accessibility.
  • Fully Assembled Delivery
    Arrives pre-assembled with all hardware and locksets, ready for installation.

Complete Flood Protection, Expert Guidance

FRA permanent flood doors represent the highest standard in passive flood protection. Every door is hydrostatically load-tested to ANSI/FEMA 2510-2020 with full documentation, and features our proprietary one-piece perimeter gasket that eliminates the failure points found in conventional multi-piece gasket systems.

With nationwide installation support and a team of flood protection specialists, we provide complete guidance from initial consultation through installation and beyond. Our permanent flood doors are built to protect your property around the clock, so you never have to worry about flood readiness again.
