Shopping centre and retail entries
Barriers across the public entries of a shopping centre and the frontages of individual retail tenancies, where the constraint is usually the lease and the glazing rather than the water.

What decides the product here
Retail openings are wide, glazed, and on someone else's floor. A tenant generally cannot drill the landlord's slab, and a centre manager does not want a fixed obstruction across a public entry. Freestanding and base-plate systems seal the opening without drilling, stay inside the tenant's own scope, and leave with the tenant at end of lease. Where the lease allows it, aluminium demountable sets on kerb-socket anchors give a higher rated depth on the same opening.
The plan is half the product
The realistic window between 'this could become a problem' and water at the door is about ten minutes in strip retail. The deployment plan that went with the supply names who activates it, in what order the entries are sealed, and where each set is stored — front entry first, then side doors, then rear access, written down and kept at the point of need. Protecting one entry of a two-entry tenancy protects nothing.
