Problem
Buildings are increasingly vulnerable to flood damage due to rising water levels and extreme weather events. Traditional flood defenses can be unsightly, require manual deployment, and are often dependent on electricity, leaving properties unprotected during critical events.
Solution
FloodFrame offers an automated, passive flood barrier system that deploys without external power to protect buildings. The system integrates a durable, impermeable Tyvek membrane into the landscape, remaining invisible until activated by rising water. Upon submersion, the membrane automatically unfurls to create a watertight seal around the building's perimeter, safeguarding facades and openings from water ingress. This reusable solution provides continuous, reliable protection against various flood scenarios, including river overflow, surface runoff, and coastal surges.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes homeowners in flood-prone areas, businesses seeking to protect commercial properties and critical infrastructure, and public entities responsible for safeguarding public buildings and heritage sites.
