A single unprotected air brick can let hundreds of litres of water a minute into your property during a flood and most people never think to protect them.
The Anti-Flood SMART AirBrick® is an engineered, self-closing replacement for a standard clay air brick. In normal weather it ventilates your building exactly as an ordinary air brick would, keeping the void dry and free of damp. When flood water rises against the wall, a buoyant internal valve is lifted by the water itself, sealing the opening and blocking a route that would otherwise let water pour in. As the flood recedes, the valve drops back and ventilation resumes.
• Passive protection: seals automatically, no power or manual intervention
• Straight replacement for a standard 225mm × 75mm clay air brick
• Full ventilation in dry conditions: no increased damp risk
• Independently tested in river & sea water, wave and flow conditions
• Compliant with BS 493:1995 for air bricks and gratings
• Durable materials: stainless steel, brass, UV-stabilised PP, glass-filled ABS
• Stackable: join two for a double-height opening
The Smart Airbrick® is a passive flood defence, no power supply, no sensors, and no need for anyone to be home to fit a cover. It simply works, day or night, warning or no warning. That reliability is why councils, businesses, and homeowners across the UK choose self-closing air bricks over manual covers.
It achieved the BBA PPA No06/P001 and Kitemark PAS 118-1:2009 and has been rigorously tested in realistic test fluids and situations including river and sea water, wave and flow testing. They are proven to work in real floods.
