Frequently Asked Questions
Are Osmo flood barriers reusable?
Yes, most Osmo barriers are fully reusable. After use, they can be air-dried and stored for future flood events. Their durable design makes them a cost-effective choice for facilities with recurring flood risk.
What is the purpose of a flood barrier?
Flood barriers are designed to prevent water ingress into buildings or specific areas. Osmo barriers work by absorbing water and forming a temporary seal, protecting vulnerable entry points like doors and drains during storms or leaks.
What is the most effective flood barrier?
Effectiveness depends on the application. Osmo barriers are among the most practical options for hard surfaces and short-term water events. They’re quicker and cleaner to use than sandbags and ideal for business continuity planning.
Do water-activated flood barriers work?
Yes. Osmo flood barriers use absorbent material that expands on contact with water, forming a physical barrier. They activate in minutes, making them ideal for emergency use around roller doors, garages, and internal thresholds.
Can Osmo flood barriers be used for garage doors?
Absolutely. The 3m Osmo barrier is particularly suited to double garage doors or roller shutters, forming a protective dam across the entrance. It’s popular with both homeowners and commercial units.
How do I store reusable flood barriers?
After use, rinse off any debris and allow the barrier to dry fully. Store it in a dry area away from direct sunlight to extend its lifespan. Some products come with a resealable bag or container for convenience.
