ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to protect an aperture of a building and/or a closure means associated with the aperture from floodwater has a barrier housing (40), which is removably fixable to at least a portion of the periphery of the aperture. The banner housing (40) includes a channel (44) into which a barrier member (10) can slide, forming a seal. A resilient layer (61) is included between the barrier housing (40) and the barrier member (10). The resilient layer (61) can include one or more splines (62). A compression means (90) can be included to urge the housing (40) and the barrier member (10) together to form a seal. Further sealing material, in the form of a member of strips (70), can be included between adjacent barrier members (10). The strips (70) are attached to the in-use upper surface of a barrier member (10), and engage the in-use lower surface of an adjacent barrier member.
