FLOODSAX

FloodSax are the leading alternative to the traditional sandbags and makes dealing with floods easier than ever. Space-saving, incredibly cost-effective, quick and easy to deploy, even at times of flash flooding, delivering instant flood protection during your time of need. They are a great solution for those asking 'how do I stop my home or business from flooding?’

How do the FloodSax work?

Flooding brings immense hardship, and while many initially consider sandbags, most are unaware that local councils bear no legal obligation to provide them to residences or businesses. It is up to individuals to devise their own strategies for preventing flooding, as failure to do so could result in significant harm to their properties and livelihoods. With over 3 million sold throughout the globe, FloodSax, the sand-less sandbag, is the tried and tested solution to flooding. Invented by one of the UK's leading flood protection companies, Environmental Defence Systems, based in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, the sax have been protecting properties for over 10 years.

The FloodSax consists of a semi-porous inner liner, which contains hundreds of absorbent crystals which absorb water to 90% capacity within 3 minutes during deployment, acting like sandbags to keep floods at bay. FloodSax weigh just 200g each when dry, but expand with water to match the 22kg security of a traditional sandbag but unlike traditional sandbags, they don’t require deliveries of sand, massive storage space, and plenty of Weetabix to be eaten before you use them.
