FAQs
What does PAS 1188-1:2014 accreditation mean?
This accreditation signifies that the product has been tested and meets the British Standard requirements for flood protection products, specifically for flood resistance and resilience.
Does the airbrick need manual activation during a flood?
No, the STORMGUARD Anti-Flood Air Brick is designed with an automatic sealing mechanism that activates when floodwaters reach a certain level.
How many airbricks are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 3 STORMGUARD Anti-Flood Air Bricks.
Can I install this myself?
While replacement of an airbrick is a common DIY task, professional installation is recommended to ensure the product is fitted correctly and seals effectively, maximizing its flood protection capabilities.
What color is the airbrick?
The airbrick is supplied in a 'Buff' color, a neutral tone intended to complement most brickwork.
Will this protect against all types of flooding?
This product specifically protects against floodwater entering through the airbrick opening. It does not prevent flooding through other entry points like doors, windows, or wall penetrations.
How do I clean the airbrick?
The exterior can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris accumulates around the grille, and the internal mechanism remains unobstructed.
Troubleshooting
Airbrick appears loose after installation
Ensure the airbrick is fully seated in the opening and secured according to installation guidelines. If concerned, consult a professional installer.
Debris obstructing the airbrick exterior
Gently remove any leaves, mud, or other debris from the exterior grille using a soft brush or by hand. Ensure the interior mechanism remains clear.
Difficulty removing old airbrick
Use appropriate tools such as a trowel or brick bolster to carefully dislodge the old airbrick. Be cautious not to damage surrounding brickwork.
