FloodSax are unique and a real game-changer when it comes to alternative sandbags as they are specially designed to be used inside as well as outside.

In their dry state, FloodSax are ultra-thin and super-absorbent, so they are highly effective at soaking up water inside homes and businesses, especially in hard-to-reach places such as beneath pipes, radiators, sinks and boilers.

They also absorb floodwater dripping in through leaky roofs and windows. This prevents water from spreading and causing damage to floors, electrics, plasterboard and furniture, along with fixtures and fittings.

FloodSax are turned into instant sandless sandbags simply by fully immersing them in water. The FloodSax absorbs around 20 litres in about 5 minutes and retains it, transforming the FloodSax from being as light as a pillowcase to being more effective and environmentally friendly than traditional sandbags.

FloodSax were designed by award-winning Yorkshire-based company Environmental Defence Systems Ltd, and more than 3 million have now been sold worldwide.
