Flood Bags
Fernco Floodbags provide a clean, fast and highly effective alternative to traditional sandbags for flood protection. Pre-filled with a super absorbent polymer (SAP), these sand-free bags rapidly expand to form a watertight barrier in minutes. Designed for both internal and external use, they are ideal for protecting doorways, garages, air bricks, and other flood-prone entry points, as well as absorbing leaks indoors. Lightweight when dry and vacuum-packed for compact storage, the bags expand to absorb up to 20 litres of water each and can be layered to create an instant flood defence wall.
