Independent Testing Confirms StormMeister Flood Protection Performance

NRC Canada Testing – Summary

The products sent for testing include

Product	Type	Material	Feature	Protection Mechanism
StormMeister® Single uPVC Flood Resistant Door	Door	unplasticized Polyvinyl chloride (uPVC)	Active Flood Seal	Chamber-gasket system seals when exposed to sufficient water depth
StormMeister® Rapid Assembly Flood Barrier	Log-type Flood Barrier	5 hollow aluminium logs	Foam gaskets (1 cm thick on logs, 5 cm on bottom log), C-channels with foam gasket, base plate, wooden wedge pieces	Each log 110 cm wide, 20 cm high, 5 cm thick; C-channels 1 cm thick, 4.5 cm wide gaskets; rapid assembly

Both products were submitted to the National Research Council Canada (NRC) for evaluation under controlled laboratory conditions across two test facilities, each designed to replicate distinct environmental loading scenarios.

Testing conducted within the Multidirectional Wave Basin focused on simulating complex flood conditions, including multidirectional wave action and the impact of transported debris. This assessment aimed to evaluate the structural integrity and performance of the system under dynamic hydraulic loading representative of severe flood events.

Complementary testing was performed in the Ice Tank facility to quantify water ingress characteristics. This phase specifically measured leakage rates relative to hydrostatic water levels applied to the upstream face of the door, providing data on sealing performance and resistance to sustained water pressure.

The testing programme extended through 2025 to 2026 also at the time of writing. Testing remains ongoing, and final performance validation is subject to completion of the full test programme.
