Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2324823A] A closure assembly comprising a door (1), for sealingly closing a door frame (3), is divided into two or more closure members, subdoors (2) arranged one above the other so as to provide progressively higher closure against rising floodwater. Preferably, the lowermost sub-door (21) is of such a height to enable it to be stepped over, thus allowing access whilst keeping out floodwater. The invention may also be applied to windows.
