FloodSax floodbags are the ORIGINAL alternative sandbags and put you in control of your own flood prevention and flood mitigation

Flooding causes untold misery and many people’s first thoughts are sandbags – but many are unaware that councils have no legal responsibility to provide them to homes or businesses and that it's is up to them to work out how to stop flooding which could cause serious damage to their property and livelihoods.

The Environment Agency says home and business owners – especially those in flood risk areas - need to sort out their own flood protection to prevent flooding and FloodSax replacement sandbags are the best sandbag-style flood protection product when it comes to flood mitigation and flood resilience with almost 3 million now sold worldwide. They were invented by one of the UK's leading flood protection product companies Environmental Defence Systems Ltd, based in Huddersfield, Yorkshire.

Also known as sandless sand bags, FloodSax first came onto the market in 2007 and have sold 3 million since then worldwide. They have proved themselves in action time and time again and also undergo regular and rigorous testing.

FloodSax vs traditional sandbags

The many reasons you should choose FloodSax over sand bags for anti-flood protection

 

FloodSax

  • Easy to store and can be vacuumed-packed to save even more room.
  • Always there for peace of mind to prevent floods. No panic to buy sandbags if a flood is forecast.
  • Can be expanded in water right next to where you need them and stay taut until flood subsides.
  • Lightweight before they are used with the standard bag weighing just 0.2kg (7 ounces) so can be used by people who would not be able to lift sandbags.
  • Thousands can be quickly transported in a van, saving on fuel, wages and manpower.
  • Can be stored in small depots around the area, not one huge central store so can be taken even more quickly to the scene.
  • One can be expanded and put down the toilet to block it from filthy water being forced up by the floodwater backing up through the drains and sewer.
  • FloodSax don't need sand - one of the earth’s natural resources - and so saves the environment

Sandbags

  • Must be replaced regularly costing thousands of pounds for big companies and local authorities that need palletised sand bags ready all year round for any emergency.
  • Can deteriorate if stored for a long time, especially in cold, damp warehouses.
  • Exceptionally unwieldy to lift and handle with all kinds of health, safety and manual handling technique problems for staff who have to use them at businesses.
  • Messy with the sand easily washed out and adding to all the damage if they burst.
  • Difficult and expensive to transport anywhere due to their weight. One box of 20 FloodSax® is equal to 20 sandbags on a pallet.
  • Need a lot of people to move any number of sandbags anywhere
