N2 - It is proposed that the seal arrangement for flood protection within domestic and commercial door units is an active system which, when submerged, uses the pressure of the flood water to create a watertight seal, thus preventing ingress. Utilising a Stratasys J750 PolyJet 3D printer, prototype seal designs were rapidly developed, trial fitted into sections of door frame profiles, and finally tested in-situ in flood tanks to ascertain the success of the design. Sections of seal, fitted to a flood depth of 450mm were tested under pressures of up to 3.5 kPa, with no ingress detected until 300mm depth of water.
