Flood Risk America Launches 3 New Flood Barrier Solutions
LAKE WORTH, Fla. — Flood Risk America (FRA), a leading U.S. manufacturer of engineered flood protection systems, announced the expansion of its product portfolio with three new flagship solutions: Swing-Hinged Flood Gates, Permanent Flood Doors, and the Aqua-Fabric Flood Barrier.
Each new product solves a specific protection problem that property owners have historically had to address with workarounds, oversized custom builds, or unreliable temporary measures.
The launch gives property owners, facility managers, and infrastructure operators a wider range of certified, real-world-tested options for protecting buildings, occupants, and operations from flood damage.
The expansion comes as flood risk continues to climb across the country. With longer hurricane seasons, more frequent atmospheric rivers, intensified storm surges, and aging stormwater infrastructure, properties in coastal, riverine, and urban environments are facing flood exposure that off-the-shelf products were never designed to handle.
Each new product solves a specific protection problem that property owners have historically had to address with workarounds, oversized custom builds, or unreliable temporary measures.
Swing-Hinged Flood Gates – Built for properties that need permanent doorway and entry-point protection without sacrificing daily access, FRA Swing-Hinged Flood Gates are precision-built gates that can remain closed full-time or be opened and closed daily for routine use, then sealed when a flood event approaches. They are rated for protection heights of 10 feet and above and engineered to withstand Category 5 flood conditions.
Permanent Flood Doors – FRA Permanent Flood Doors deliver 24/7 passive flood defense with no deployment step required. Each door replaces a standard entry door and provides watertight protection while maintaining safe, code-compliant everyday access. Every FRA Flood Door is independently hydrostatically load-tested to ANSI/FEMA 2510-2020 standards at 4-foot and 10-foot water protection heights, achieving up to 90 percent lower leakage than the standard requires.
A one-piece perimeter gasket with no mitered joints delivers a durable seal that holds up over years of daily use and repeated flood events. Both the door and threshold are ADA-compliant, and units arrive fully assembled with all hardware, seals, and locksets installed.
Aqua-Fabric Flood Barrier – The Aqua-Fabric Flood Barrier is FRA’s portable, rapidly deployable answer for protecting perimeters and critical infrastructure from rising water. Designed for one-person deployment in minutes with no heavy equipment, the barrier packs up compactly, stores easily, and is built for repeated reuse. It delivers up to 100 times faster installation than sandbags, with zero environmental impact and no site restoration required after a flood event.
