What’s so wrong with conventional sandbags?


  • Must be replaced regularly costing thousands of euros for the 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. Dust and grime infiltrate anything stored nearby.

  • Exceptionally unwieldy to lift and handle with all kinds of health, safety and manual handling technical 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 Flood Guard units is equal to 20 sandbags on a pallet and the number of Flood Guard units that can be delivered by a pickup truck is equal to more than 12,000lbs of sand.

  • Odd shapes, uneven bags and poor stacking performance means sandbags let water seep through and are ill-suited to the task. You need a lot of people to move any number of sandbags anywhere.

  • Cleaning up after sandbags can cost a fortune, especially if they have leaked as spilled sand can have a disastrous effect on natural habitats.

What’s so right about Flood Guard?


  • Easy to store and can be vacuumed-packed to save even more room.

  • Always there for peace of mind. 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 for up to 3 months.

  • Lightweight before they are used, with the standard bag weighing just 700grammes. Flood Guard 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, therefore can be taken even more quickly to the scene.

  • One Flood Guard unit can be expanded and put down the toilet to block it from filthy water being forced up the drains and sewer.

  • Unlike sandbags, Flood Guard soak up some oils and chemicals. 

  • Flood Guard are uniform sizes so expand to fit tightly against each other and walls, providing dependable protection from water.

  • Flood Guard don’t need sand (one of the earths natural resources) and therefore is Eco-friendly.
