Fernco Bolsters Flood Protection Offering with Two New Product Launches

13-12-2024

 

Fernco, a leading supplier to the civils and drainage, plumbing, and water management sectors, has introduced two innovative flood protection products, addressing the urgent need for more effective and accessible defences against flooding.

The first product, the Fernco Floodbag, offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional sandbags with its sandless design, providing a convenient and efficient way to block and divert floodwater from property thresholds. Unlike traditional sandbags, which require manual filling, the Fernco Floodbag comes pre-filled with a super absorbent polymer (SAP) that rapidly absorbs water and expands to form a robust flood barrier.

Designed with practicality in mind, the Floodbags are vacuum-sealed and flat-packed, ensuring easy long-term storage and immediate readiness for use. This makes them an invaluable tool for both homeowners and local authorities preparing for flood emergencies.

The second product, the Anti-Flood Air Brick Cover, offers a simple yet highly effective solution for protecting properties against rising water. Designed to create a watertight seal over any standard 9 x 3-inch air brick, grill, or gate, it requires no specialist tools or concrete for installation.

The Air Brick Cover is DIY-friendly and can be installed by hand in seconds. Once the flood threat has subsided, it can be easily unclipped, stored compactly, and reused, making it a versatile option for both residential and commercial properties.

Ryan Lockwood, Sales and Marketing Manager at Fernco, highlighted the significance of these new products:
"Flooding affects millions of people across the UK, and one of the biggest challenges is finding effective solutions. When we launched Fernco Flood Protection, our goal was to design accessible, innovative products that truly make a difference. These two new products do just that, safeguarding properties and assets in a practical, user-friendly way."

He continued:
"Not only are these products highly effective at diverting floodwater, but they are also rapid to deploy and easy to store, enabling property owners and local authorities to respond swiftly in emergencies. In situations where every minute counts, these solutions can prevent thousands of pounds in property damage or even save lives. Their importance cannot be overstated."

Fernco’s latest innovations provide property owners and local authorities with powerful tools to combat flooding, offering peace of mind and protection when it is needed most.
