Control The Fire And Be Safe With Two-Ply Fireplace Gloves
Where there's smoke, there's fire. And where there's fire, there's safety issues. If you have to tend to a fire or your handling a construction site welding assignment, then you'll want to avoid wearing loose flammable clothes, and you'll need a solid no-nonsense pair of fireplace gloves for hand and arm protection.
Even outside the home lounge or industrial workplace environment, you'll want to improvise with a pair of fireplace gloves such as when you're backpacking or camping outdoors on a fishing or hunting trip. A solid-single ply leather glove, with even bark chips as an insulator will always be superior to trying to pry logs with a stick.
Getting The Right Fireplace Glove
Quality and robustness in fireplace gloves is directly related to your primary use. Consider the following:
Glove Length. Fireplace gloves are generally sized into two extra-long lengths, for maximum hand and forearm protection. You can select a 14-inch or 20-inch glove depending on your hand size and arm length.
Glove Liner Versus Unlined. Flame retardant interior lining is your bottom line defense against heat and fire penetration. For home-based needs, a fireplace glove lined in wool felt will suffice as an insulating buffer against heat. A welding glove, however, should be rated for fire retardant properties.
Safety Certification. Ensure that your fireplace glove carries necessary marking evidencing compliance with fire-safety standards for the materials used.
Construction Details. Better fireplace gloves will be safety-certified, provide you with guaranteed fire retardant materials, and should utilize Kevlar reinforced stitching in order to ensure the integrity of all seams.
Double Thick Cowhide. In two-part fireplace gloves, with an interior glove liner, look for solid heavy side split cowhide in the outer shell, which is the material of choice by quality work glove manufacturers.Copyright 2004-2009 S&T US LLC
