It’s 10 years since the horrendous Boxing Day floods devastated parts of the UK.

Make sure you’re always prepared for any kind of flooding emergency with FloodSax sandless sandbags as it’s virtually impossible to get emergency flood mitigation devices when flooding is imminent.

FloodSax are THE only alternative sandbag that can be used outside and inside.

In their dry state FloodSax are very flat with a large surface area and the gelling polymer inside absorbs the water and retains it.

Almost all homes and businesses have weak spots in roofs and windows where rainwater gets in but this can be quickly soaked up by FloodSax to prevent it from causing costly damage. They can also deal with any escape of water from faulty boilers, leaky pipes or broken radiators.

To transform FloodSax into instant sandbags simply immerse them in water which they absorb and retain to become tough sandless sandbags and you can then build them into ultra-strong flood barriers.
