Flood-Resistant Glass Systems
Flood-resistant glass systems provide passive, permanently integrated flood protection engineered for flood and impact loads while preserving visibility and functionality.
Engineered, Permitted, Installed, and Supported by FloodReady
FloodReady delivers flood-resistant glass systems for commercial and critical facilities across Southwest Florida, engineered and coordinated with structural conditions, flood criteria, and regulatory approvals, then professionally installed and supported long term.
System Applications
Flood-resistant glass systems are well suited for facilities or waterfront properties requiring passive flood protection without compromising transparency or architectural intent.
Common applications include:
Building façades and storefronts
Waterfront and coastal properties
Seawalls and bulkheads
Public spaces and promenades
Facilities requiring uninterrupted visibility and access
System Considerations
System selection depends on site conditions, operational needs, and long-term ownership considerations.

-
Integrated architectural solution
Minimal inspection and maintenance requirements
Long-term service and support provided
Our Proven
System Performance
Independent FM/ANSI 2510 testing verifies system performance under hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, and impact conditions, demonstrating compliance with rigorous standards for critical and commercial facilities.
System testing was conducted by our partners, FENEX and Floodproofing.com
System Configurations
Flood-resistant glass systems are engineered and configured based on flood exposure, structural integration, and architectural requirements.
Flood-Resistant Windows
Manufacturer:
FENEX
Flood-resistant windows provide passive flood and impact protection without compromising building design, clarity, or occupant comfort.
These fully glazed systems are engineered to withstand defined flood elevations, hydrostatic pressure, and debris impact while remaining permanently installed. Available in multiple framing and sizing options, flood-resistant windows meet stringent FM, ANSI, FEMA, and Florida Product Approval requirements.
Common characteristics include:
Fully glazed passive flood protection
Impact- and debris-resistant performance
Custom sizes and framing options
No deployment or storage required

Flood Walls
Manufacturer:
FENEX
Flood walls are passive, impact-rated glass barrier systems designed to provide continuous flood protection while maintaining unobstructed views.
Engineered for coastal and waterfront environments, flood walls resist rising water, debris impact, and wave action without requiring pre-storm installation. Systems can incorporate oversized panels, architectural finishes, and integrated handrails while meeting applicable code and flood-resistance criteria.
Common characteristics include:
Permanent flood-resistant glass barrier systems
Engineered for coastal flood conditions
Oversized panel and branding options
Integrated architectural detailing

The FloodReady Difference
FloodReady delivers engineered flood protection systems through professional design, permitting, installation, and long-term support, ensuring systems perform as intended when flood conditions occur.
Engineering-Led
Flood protection systems are engineered for site-specific flood conditions, loading assumptions, and operational constraints, not selected from standard product catalogs.
Permitting Expertise
FloodReady coordinates building and floodplain permitting to ensure systems meet regulatory requirements and are accepted by local authorities having jurisdiction.
Design-Assist
FloodReady collaborates with architects and engineers to integrate flood-resistant glass systems that preserve visibility, aesthetics, and design intent while meeting requirements.
Precision Installation
FloodReady installs flood-resistant glass systems with tight tolerances and coordinated sequencing to ensure long-term performance and architectural finish quality.
