Water proof
21st November 2017

BOWATER BY BIRTLEY says it is one of only two companies to gain PAS1188 test standard on its flood composite door.

The company’s Kevin Kiernan said: “Flooding is an increasingly relevant issue for homeowners in the UK and potentially devastating for those affected, not only in terms of damage to life and property, but also for insurance and resale ability. A recent study by the conservation charity WWF, reports that up to 2.5m homes will be at risk of flooding by 2050 if we don’t start future-proofing now.”
All products tested to PAS1188 are subject to an initial type test and the facility that manufactures the product is assessed for quality at the start of the process and then on an ongoing basis, typically once or twice a year.

Kevin continued: “We are already just one of a handful of companies to offer a double rebated 68mm composite door and now we are one of just two companies who will able to offer a fully certified Flood Defence door. This means that our customers can benefit from a complete range of doors with no gaps and no compromise, especially where it really matters.”
