Fernco Boosts Flood Protection Range with Innovative Floodbag
New sandbag alternative to bring protection to homes and businesses across the country
Addressing the urgent need for more effective flood protection products, Fernco, market-leading supplier to the civils and drainage and flood protection sectors, has launched its new Floodbag, an innovative alternative to a traditional sandbag.
Delivered through an exclusive partnership with Environmental Defence Systems (EDS) Ltd, the original innovator of the sandless sandbag, Fernco is determined to make effective flood protection products more widely available to communities across the UK.
Designed to block and divert floodwater from property thresholds, Fernco Floodbags, are filled with a super absorbent polymer (SAP), which rapidly absorbs water and exapnds to create a fully waterproof flood barrier.
Eliminating the need to manually fill sacks with sand, Fernco Floodbags come pre-filled and can be deployed quickly in a flood event. The Floodbags are vacuum and flat-packed for easy long-term storage. Unlike sandbags, Fernco Floodbags won’t deteriorate and become porous over time, delivering a rapid, safe and reliable solution in the fight against flooding.
Ryan Lockwood, Sales and Marketing Manager at Fernco, said: “Flooding affects millions of people across the UK each year. With warnings already issued by the Met Office to expect wetter than average winter months, Fernco is committed to delivering robust, easy-to-use products to protect properties, and assets.
“It’s the Fernco way to challenge the status quo. For years, sandbags have been the first port of call for those living and working in flood-prone areas, but they are not typically the best solution. Through our partnership with EDS, we can deliver an innovative, effective product, that, through our broad network of merchant partners, will be available nationwide.”

Fernco adds Anti-Flood Air Brick Cover to Growing Flood Protection Range
Part of its growing arsenal of flood protection products, Fernco has announced the launch of its Anti-Flood Air Brick Cover.
Designed to offer quick and reliable flood protection for homes and properties, this new product prevents floodwater from entering through low-level air bricks, providing property owners with peace of mind during flood events.
Utilising a simple, push fit design, the Fernco Air Brick Cover creates a watertight seal around any standard 9 x 3-inch air brick, grill or grate. With no specialist tools or concrete required, the Air Brick Cover is DIY-friendly and can be installed by hand in seconds, safeguarding properties against rising floodwater.
The two-part design includes a terracotta-coloured frame, which is permanently fixed around the air brick, and the red cover, which is clipped securely onto the frame during heavy rainfall. Once the risk has passed, the cover can be unclipped and stored compactly, ready to be re-used in the future.
Cost-effective and innovative, the Air Brick Cover is quick, easy and reliable, protecting properties in a flood event.
Steve Rodgerson, Key Account Manager at Fernco, said: “Innovation is at the heart of our business, and we know customers demand products that are easy to stock, universal in their application and completely reliable. That’s what we are continuing to achieve across our flood protection offering.”
“Flooding is one of the most critical issues we are facing in the water management industry. It’s our aim to deliver innovative, easy to use solutions to tackle flooding now and in the future. The Anti-Flood Air Brick is a prime example of this. It’s simple, easy to install, reliable and reusable, giving people access to flood defence products when they need them most. We don’t take this for granted and as a result, prioritise the end-user in every product we deliver.”
With more than 30 years’ experience in the drainage connection industry, Fernco is an expert in waste and storm water management, offering dedicated and high-quality solutions to defend environments and properties in a flood event.
