Introduction
In the UK, 1 in 6 homes are at risk of flooding due to being located in an 'immediate flood risk' area. Flooding, and flood management, costs the UK around £2.2 billion pounds each year. Our Premium Flood Barrier Cube provides an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution to protecting both commercial and domestic properties from damage and loss caused by surface water flooding. Not only is it effective at forming a barrier, but it can also be used to divert the flow of water.
Composition
- Outer Bag - Ultrasonic, non-woven polypropylene
- Internal Fill - Hydrophilic nano-SAP
Directions for Use
1. Activate the Flood Cube by submerging it in fresh water or by soaking with a hosepipe. Note, do not use salt water.
