How do you stop floodwater entering through your wide door entrances?
Doors are among the most vulnerable points for floodwater entry, making their protection vital to reducing property damage. Employing flood barriers and sandless sandbags to establish a protective barrier significantly lessens the risk of water damage. Each product offers unique benefits, and when used together, they create a comprehensive flood defence strategy, ensuring your home or business remains dry and secure during flood events.
Why we don’t recommend a large barrier?
Even though they are widely available there are many reasons why we don’t recommend large barriers for double doors and wider entrances. To start, they are heavy and cumbersome nature, which makes them difficult to handle. They also require permanent fixings to be attached to the property, necessitating structural alterations which are often ugly. Additionally, these barriers demand substantial storage space and are generally more expensive compared to other options. Given these drawbacks, we recommend more convenient and cost-effective flood protection solutions that are easier to manage and deploy.
What are the benefits of sandless sandbags?
Sandless sandbags provide several benefits over traditional sandbags, making them a superior option for quick and efficient flood protection:
Lightweight & Portable: Easy to carry when dry; they expand when wet to create a sturdy flood barrier.
Convenient Storage: Compact and simple to store, allowing for fast access without the need for heavy machinery.
Quick & Effective: They swell quickly to prevent floodwaters, minimising the time needed for setup.
Environmentally Friendly: Generally easier to dispose of or clean for reuse, offering an environmentally preferable alternative.
Sandless sandbags are a practical and effective choice for emergency flood defence, useful for both homeowners and emergency responders.
Let customers speak for us
from 213 reviewsI live in an area where we are only 65 - 85ft above sea level. Every winter season we are all waterlogged. Occasionally, we have problems with backflow, but not now I have a Toilet Stopper! What a simple, but great idea! I can’t recommend them enough. I’m buying another one for a friend of mine. Thank you to whoever thought of this.
Haven’t had to put this to the test yet, but previous one worked brilliantly at keeping the torrential rain out of the garage all year
FloodSax (pack of 5 or box of 20)
Great Product. I live in Florida and go north for the summer, so I need piece of mind during hurricane season. Used sandbags for last hurricane two years ago and they failed to stop all the water intrusion 100% and you cannot depend on anyone to watch over your property as it's everyman for themselves as a hurricane approaches. I ordered two for my two doors and am totally pleased with the seal and ease of attachment. My many neighbors are also looking to purchase as well. Very satisfied with the product and the customer service.
Have not used them yet, but sure they will be fine
I'm unable to review the Flood Cubes yet as the water receded just before we needed to put them to the test. However, Floodshield who supplied them were great. They were out of stock of the item we ordered but immediately contacted us and offered to supply the Flood Cubes instead and hold the price at that of the lower priced item we had ordered. They arrived the next day.
I place the barrier along the Door and it stops water going into the garage and saves a lot of mopping,
A good old fashioned service company with a series of products which provide a solution to a sometimes emergency need.
I recently ordered 2 Floodshield barriers for my UPVC and wood front doors. Anthony at Floodshield was extremely helpful and swift to respond to my various queries. The product is light, quick to deploy and simple to adjust for a perfect fit. It appears to provide a robust, watertight seal when fastened firmly to the doors. I hope I never have to use them!
These are great to have at hand when flooding is an issue. They are light , easy to store and very easy to use. I have flood doors which are getting old and during the recent floods I used them to block any leaks around them. Worked really well.
So I ordered another box to have on standby.
Arrived on time, no issues with the order. Haven’t used yet, just in case needed.
