Self-inflating flood defence system

Quick Bag is an innovative, self-inflating alternative to traditional flood Bags or sandbags, and allow everyone to prepare for flooding and transform the we we control damage due to flooding.

50 Quick Bag’s can be stored in a box and can be deployed in minutes to protect your business or home from flood water.

The semi-porous inner liner contains hundreds of absorbent crystals which absorb water to 90% capacity in just 5 minutes. Once the water is in there, it stays there and the bags act just like sandbags to keep floods at bay.

Quick Bag’s are easily moulded into doorways to keep floodwater out.

Biodegradable

Biodegradable and Disposable - Our Quick Bag is 100%
natural Hemp and friendly to the Earth. This is the reason that the UN has decided to use our Quick Bag products. We highly recommend using as a water-saving device by digging into the garden after flood use, as the bags will re-inflate and hold water out of direct sunlight.

Quick Bag advantages:

Quick Bags are easy to store and deployable by anyone without needing to manually shovel sand into traditional burlap sandbags. A box of 50 sandless sandbags only weighs about 25kg as opposed to hundreds of kg with traditional, filled sandbags.

Quick Bags are biodegradable and safe for the environment. Can be dug into the garden after flood subsides, and help the gardens water retention.

As opposed to the time consuming process to filling and deploying traditional sandbags, Quick bags are ready to use in 3-5 minutes and stay expanded for up to 3 months.

Sandbag comparison

Deploying flood protection using traditional sandbags usually includes a backbreaking number of steps. First, burlap bags must be purchased and driven to a site that has sand. Shovelling the sand into each sandbag comes next, which is very tough work and can lead to back pain. After that, the 15kg to 19kg burlap sandbags must then be lifted into a truck and driven to the site which requires flood protection.

Quick Bags, alternatively, are simply taken out of the box put in water and will fill automatically.
