Savannah Flood Protection aka Savannah Trims, Inc. is "The Leader" in permanent, in-place, glass flood barriers. Since it's founding in 1983 Savannah Trims has specialized in development, fabrication and installation of architectural metals. In 1998, we entered the floodwater protection business. Over the years we worked with glass and window-walls in many forms, finally refining on our "Flood Sentry" glass and aluminum flood barrier system which has been submitted for U.S. patent protection. We invite you to learn from our history, experience and knowledge.
