The Flood Guard system
Aluminum flood panels built to withstand the storm
Horizontal aluminum panels slide into wall-mounted tracks and seal with EPDM gaskets. Custom measured for every opening, installed to Florida Building Code.
What is a flood panel?
Designed, supplied and installed by us
Every property is different, so every job starts with a personal site assessment. We measure and photograph each opening you want protected, look at the floor and wall surfaces and how water reached the property before, then design a system for those exact openings. Our own installers mount and seal the tracks and show you how to deploy the panels.
After a few years in business and growing demand, we started supplying other flood barrier companies across Florida, so the same quality and craftsmanship can reach even more people who need it.
Flood Guard LLCDurable, corrosion-resistant materials
Panels are structural aluminum with an electrophoretic (e-coat) finish, and every fastener is 316 stainless steel, so the system stands up to salt air, humidity and Florida sun. The tracks are paint-friendly and can be finished to blend in with your home or building.
Comprehensive, proactive protection
Flood Guard is a dry floodproofing system: it keeps water out of the building below the protected height instead of cleaning up after it. The system is built to resist high water loads and impact from floating debris, and is unobtrusive when not deployed.

Top cap system
Creates multi-layer sealing pressure
Cast aluminum with a marine-grade powder coat. A stainless steel screw and plate press down evenly, compressing the dual EPDM gaskets between every panel and the base.
