Project brief
A non-standard residential frame required a custom mounting method.
Project overview
This Sarasota project included five custom aluminum flood-barrier installations for residential entrances. This page documents one representative opening measuring 55.5 inches wide and 23.62 inches high.
Project challenge
The left side of the entrance presented a non-standard mounting surface. A standard face-mounted post would have affected appearance and made accurate alignment and sealing more difficult.
Project goal
Provide reusable residential flood protection matched to the exact opening dimensions and unusual mounting condition, without permanently blocking a finished residential entrance.
Flood barrier solution
An engineering-focused approach to fit, sealing, and appearance.
The project used removable aluminum stop-log panels with a recessed left-post arrangement. Review residential flood barrier options when considering a similar entrance; the mounting arrangement must be assessed for each opening.
- Recessed left-side installation integrated into the available frame line.
- Concealed post fastening inside side-post channels, without exposed front-facing screws.
- Substantial interlocking aluminum panel profiles and precisely fitted posts.
- Removable panels that can be installed before severe weather and removed after risk has passed.

Project result
A clean, removable solution for a difficult residential entrance.
The completed installation provided reusable flood protection for a residential entrance with a difficult non-standard frame. The recessed left-side mounting method solved the lack of a conventional fixing surface while keeping the post correctly aligned.
