Purpose and User
The Zoro Select welding blanket is an eight-by-eight-foot fiberglass sheet rated for light-duty protection during hot-work tasks. It serves welders, fabricators and maintenance crews who need a portable barrier against sparks, spatter and slag.
Pre-Installation Checks
Verify that the work area can accommodate a full 8 ft square layout and that anchor points exist for the brass grommets spaced 24 in apart. Confirm the 1,000 °F maximum temperature rating matches the process heat and note the Proposition 65 warning for California job sites.
Build Integration
The 18 oz/sq yd uncoated fiberglass weighs little enough for one-person handling yet drapes over equipment, scaffolding or floor openings without stiff framing. Brass grommets with 19/64 in holes accept wire, hooks or bungees, while the FM Approved and NFPA 701 listings satisfy common site-safety specifications.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what extra items are needed to hang the blanket?
The blanket ships with brass grommets at each corner, so only mounting hardware such as hooks, chains or rope needs to be supplied by the user.
How do I decide between the 18 oz and other weight options?
This model is the 18 oz per square yard version rated for light duty; choose it when a lighter, more flexible shield is preferred over heavier alternatives.
What does the 1,000 °F rating mean when the blanket is used in a workshop?
The fiberglass material withstands continuous exposure up to 1,000 °F, protecting nearby surfaces and personnel from sparks, spatter and radiant heat during welding or cutting.
