Colour matched frame allows your property to retain a normal appearance when not on flood alert.

Temporary cover allows necessary sub-floor ventilation in normal circumstances.

Frame manufactured from U.V. stabilised plastic to slow down the effects of sunlight.

Installing the permanent DamRyt™ frame:

Break off the screw caps and place safely to one side.
