The AquaLOCK® Quickwall stands out clearly from traditional flood protection systems in several key ways:

  • One-piece instead of multi-piece
    While conventional barriers often consist of numerous individual slats, the Quickwall uses a single, one-piece panel. This makes installation faster and prevents assembly errors.

  • Tool-free installation
    No screws, no drilling, no mounting brackets. The Quickwall is simply inserted into the lateral profiles and locks automatically.

  • Fast deployment in emergencies
    Thanks to its one-piece design, the Quickwall can be set up within minutes, even during unexpected flood situations.

  • Clean, discreet design
    The lateral connection profiles are slim and unobtrusive, remain on the building, and barely affect its appearance.

  • High sealing performance & certifications
    The Quickwall features ift-tested leakage values and is officially certified, including by the European Flood Protection Association e. V. and TÜV SÜD.

  • Modular expandability
    With plug-in posts, the system can be expanded into corner solutions or multi-section systems.

In short:
The Quickwall is faster, easier, safer, and more modern than traditional flood protection barriers.
