Vitrex 338160 Tiling Knee Pads,Black

Product Information

To be so supportive over such a large area these heavy-duty knee pads themselves require more bulk and surface area. They are huge! The first time I saw them I laughed, I have never seen knee pads so big, bulky and macho. They are the Hummer of professional flooring knee pads. Monday morning, the suns shining, birds are singing, and I’m standing there scratching my chin, trying to decide which pair of knee pads I should try on first. I hope this review proved useful to you and you made an informed decision on your next pair of knee pads for tiling.

That’s where the market flooded with 1000’s of different professional knee pads comes in and while the wide selection is great, it also creates confusion as to which pair is right for your task. I’ll summarize how those weeks went with my trio of best knee pads for tilers as there is a limit to how much I can describe my job to a fellow tiler.

PPE Knee Pads

Most modern knee pads are now filled with gel technology which feels more natural and provides the same amount of support for a whole lot less bulk. It’s not this point that is the biggest problem though. It’s the fact the padding is of very low quality and tends to deflate, deform and flatten within a month or two of regular use. The long narrow cap can prove uncomfortable if you have a wide leg and shin. The plastic cap and gel do not accommodate the extra width well as the size is pretty much set due to the way the knee pads are set. You must be available to accept delivery on the date you have requested, failure to do so will result in paying for a re delivery charge.

Thanks again for the comment and I’m sorry for the disservice I have done to you and every setter that needs knee pads. I am always looking to improve where I can, so will take your comments into consideration.You can still read the tiling knee pad review below, the information is still valid, we just have a new winner! At RUBI we are perfectly aware of the requirements of the professional ceramic tile fixer. That’s why we are aware that these professionals sometimes have to perform work on natural stones. That way you won’t ruin your knee pads needlessly and always have a good pair for delicate surfaces. Note that the shell may get a little warm, as it’s made from plastic. The metal rivet hinges, which improve your range of motion, may also pinch at the knees. If you have average sized knees and regular occasional use of flooring knee pads over the very rough stuff, then the custom leathercraft 339 Armor-Flex knee pads are designed to provide for you. Their price make them an affordable option for part time work and home owners needing a pair handy.

That’s what I am looking at if I don’t be careful. If you are reading this review I bet it has crossed your mind as well ol’ buddy. There’s something about these leather knee pads that give them such charm and heritage and you feel that while wearing it. Be it that they’re of such an old design or that the knee pads are made here in the US, you will feel it too when you put them on. The fact that there isn’t a lot of leather knee pads around any more also gives them that old-timey feel of yesteryear.First and foremost, you should look for knee pads that are comfortable and fit well. They should be adjustable to fit your leg size and have padding that conforms to your knee for maximum comfort. Look for knee pads that are lightweight and breathable to prevent sweating and discomfort. If you are like my Jane then I bet you are worried about your silly husband injuring himself and I don’t think you want him ending up like a cyborg with a new knee. While cyborgs are really cool and interesting, having super strength or x-ray vision would be better enhancements over a synthetic knee. Over all though, the down falls are minor gripes in comparison to how truly comfortable these knee pads are.

I could go on but I know you will agree with me that these problems are primarily what we face when buying knee pads for tiling.Whether it’s cold concrete, a pave-stone path or to avoid harsh chemicals spilled on the work surface, knee pads are the front line defense that will ensure your knees are healthy to fight another day. The cushioning is of the simple foam padding kind but it is closed cell so it won’t drink up that sweat as readily as the open kind. It lines the bottom of the two parts where your knee rest and goes all around providing full knee coverage and support. On the whole, these knee pads are simply brilliant doing what they were designed for. I have spent hours on my knees with these knee pads and not once did I feel pain in my knees nor did the cold sink up through the material.
