August, 2003 -- Exciting news for Coastal South Carolina Contractors building in Flood Plains.

In coastal South Carolina, Charleston County builders are meeting code and insurance requirements by installing Smart VENTS, the Premier Foundation Flood vents, in their new home construction.
As Flood Insurance premiums rise and FEMA pushes to enforce the codes and reduce flood damage claims, the solution that is certified to meet all of the FEMA and Building Codes is Smart VENT.

Three models in two sizes are available. Our Duel Function (Louvered) Model # 1540-510 is designed to Mitigate floodwater while providing ventilation that automatically opens and closes with temperature. This model would be used where both ventilation and flood mitigation is required, and where cold weather could freeze pipes.

The Insulated Flood Only Model # 1540-520 is also certified to mitigate floodwater, but is insulated to protect pipes from freezing temperatures. This model would be used in a conditioned space, a garage, vestibule, or office, where ventilation is not required.

The Overhead Door Model # 1540-530 is designed to install into a garage door. It can be supplied in the Insulated Flood Only or Duel Function model. This unit would be used where there is no room for vents on an exterior wall.

Sizes include 8" x 16" covering 200 Sq/Ft per unit and 16" x 16" that covers 400 Sq/Ft per unit.
