Fernco Bolsters Flood Protection Offering with Two New Product Launches
Addressing the urgent need for more effective and accessible flood protection products, Fernco, market-leading supplier to the civils and drainage, plumbing and water management sectors, has announced the launch of two new flood protection products.
The first, its revolutionary Fernco Floodbag redefines flood defence with its sandless design, offering an easy-to-use alternative to traditional sandbags, while blocking and diverting floodwater from property thresholds.
Eliminating the need to manually fill sandbags, Fernco Floodbags are pre-filled with a super absorbent polymer (SAP), which rapidly absorbs water and expands to create an effective flood barrier.
Designed for convenience, Floodbags are vacuum-sealed and flat-packed for easy long-term storage, ensuring they’re ready for deployment at a moment’s notice. This makes them a game-changer for both homeowners and local authorities preparing for flood events.
The second is its innovative Anti-Flood Air Brick Cover. A simple and effective solution to protect properties against rising water, the Anti-Flood Air Brick Cover is designed to create a watertight seal around any standard 9 x 3-inch air brick, grill or gate.
With no specialist tools or concrete required, the Air Brick Cover is DIY-friendly and can be installed by hand in seconds. Once the flood risk has passed, the cover can be unclipped and stored compactly, ready to be re-used in the future, making it a highly versatile and practical solution for both residential properties and commercial spaces.
Ryan Lockwood, Sales and Marketing Manager at Fernco said: “Flooding is an issue affecting millions of people in the UK and one of the biggest challenges is finding the right solution to the problem. When we launched Fernco Flood Protection we were aiming to design accessible and innovative products. Solutions that would make a real difference to people’s lives, protecting properties, and assets. That is exactly what these two products deliver.
“Not only are they hugely effective at diverting floodwater, but they are also user-friendly, rapid to deploy and easy to store, ensuring property owners and local authorities can react quickly when they need to. Where minutes can save thousands of pounds in property damage, or even lives, the importance of these products cannot be overstated.”
