What do Air Bricks Do?
Air bricks (or airbricks) are brick-shaped vents, designed to provide ventilation to cavity walls and suspended floors. The primary purpose is to prevent moisture from building up, which can lead to damp and rotting floorboards.
Suspended floors are built from wood and timber, and changing temperatures between day and night or from central heating settings, can lead to the wood cooling quicker than the air around them. This leads to condensation and moisture build-up, which eventually leads to rotting wood.
However, air bricks sit at a low level and can be a major hole for water to enter your property in a flood event. The flood damage can lead to months of renovation and repair.
Anti-flood air brick covers are simple to use flood protection, and snap can be snapped onto the frame when a flood risk is imminent. The seal within the cover prevents the vent from allowing water to enter your home.
We would recommend doing a thorough review and walk round of your air property, as most properties have more than one air brick.

Why install an air brick flood covers?
- Air brick flood covers allow you to maintain necessary air flow to your property, ensuring you do not suffer from damp rot. Anti-flood air bricks can restrict the airflow to your property because they have a device inside the brick that is activated in a flood event. These devices (flaps or balls) restrict the airflow that normal air bricks provide.
- Air brick covers are easy to install and do not require any expertise or concrete. This makes them more cost-effective and quicker to install, particularly if you are retrofitting to a property. Installing the air brick cover is a simpler solution than retro-fitting anti-flood air bricks, as the existing air brick can be left in situ.
- Air brick covers comply with Environment Agency guidelines on protecting your property from flooding.
- Air brick flood covers are quicker to install than alternatives, such as sandbags.
- Bright red cover to remind you to remove the cover once the flood risk has subsided. Please note this is essential after the flood risk has disappeared. If you want passive flood protection, which does not require installation or removal after flood risk, then we recommend anti-flood air bricks.
Please note, most houses have more than one air brick so multiple covers are likely to be required.
