8 ft by 6 ft Fiberglass Welding Blanket
This medium-duty blanket measures eight feet by six feet and uses a 28 oz per square yard fiberglass fabric with an acrylic coating. It is rated for continuous exposure up to one thousand degrees Fahrenheit and carries FM Approved and NFPA 701 certifications. Brass grommets at each corner provide secure tie-down points for shop or field use.
For welders needing medium-duty spark
The blanket suits general fabrication, maintenance and light structural work where a certified fire-retardant barrier is required. It is not intended for heavy-industrial environments that demand higher weight fabrics or specialized coatings beyond acrylic. Buyers who need larger continuous coverage or a different temperature rating should evaluate alternative specifications.
Brass grommets and acrylic coating change handling
Grommets on twenty-four inch centres with a four-fifths inch hole diameter allow quick fastening to frames or scaffolding without additional hardware. The acrylic coating reduces fiberglass dust during handling and improves resistance to moisture and abrasion compared to uncoated cloth. These features make the blanket easier to deploy and reuse across multiple jobs.

Questions about this item
Does the blanket need any extra hardware to hang from the brass grommets spaced 24 in apart?
The blanket has brass grommets on every corner with a 4/5 in hole diameter, so it can be secured with standard hooks, chains or rope that fit that size.
Will the fiberglass material rated for 1,000 Degrees F protect nearby painted surfaces or plastic parts on older equipment?
The acrylic-coated fiberglass withstands 1,000 Degrees F and meets FM Approved and NFPA701 standards, providing a heat shield for adjacent components.
How can I confirm the blanket is performing correctly during a welding job?
Check that the black fiberglass shows no burn-through or discolouration after exposure and that all grommets remain firmly attached at the 24 in spacing.
