    What are FloodSax?

    They’re a new kind of flood defence system which takes only a few minutes to act, this product replaces sandbags; they’re highly recommended. FloodSax do what sandbags do – but they’re like pillow cases full of hundreds of absorbent crystals that weigh no more than half a pint of water. Weighing only 0.2kg; even a child can lift one when they’re empty. In less than 5 minutes from scratch they are ready to give you more protection than a sandbag. They’re ready in minutes to keep flood water out of your business or home.

How do FloodSax work?

FloodSax absorb water to become tightly stretched and tense – which you will get proof of within five minutes. Once the water is in there, it stays there and acts like sandbags to keep floods at bay. FloodSaxs are designed so they mould into the doorways to keep water out.

How long will FloodSax last when stored?

When being stored FloodSax will last for 5 years. Once expanded at the scene of a flood they remain effective for up to 3 months.

What happens when you’ve finished with your FloodSaxs?

FloodSaxs are biodegradable meaning you can dispose of them in landfill sites.

Who should have them?

Every home and business is potentially at risk from floods – even if it is a burst pipe.
