- Easy to store and can be vacuumed-packed to save even more room
- Can be stored in anything from an under stairs cupboard to a vast warehouse
- Always there for peace of mind. No panic to buy sandbags if a flood is forecast
- Can be packed up tightly and carried around in tradesmen's vans
- There immediately for any flooding emergency both indoors or out
- A far cleaner and easier to handle option indoors
- Lightweight before they are used, with the standard bag weighing just 0.2kg
- Can be used by people who would not be able to lift sandbags
- Stay expanded for up to 3 months
- Hundreds can be taken to the scene quickly by one person in a car
- 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
- If a flood is imminent and you have FloodSax® stored in your home or at work you are in charge of your own fate
- With FloodSax® it's a case of grab them and go into action
- They could even make ideal gifts for people in flood–risk areas
- FloodSax® don't need sand - one of the earth's natural resources - and so saves the environment
Sandbags
- Have to be replaced regularly which costs many thousands of pounds for big companies and local authorities that need palletised sandbags 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
- 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 to transport anywhere due to their weight
- Need a lot of people to move any number anywhere
