Welding Blanket for Medium-Duty Protection
The Zoro Select fiberglass blanket measures six feet by six feet and weighs 32 ounces per square yard. It is rated for a maximum temperature of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and carries an FM Approved standard. Brass grommets on each corner allow the sheet to be hung or secured in place. The material is uncoated white fiberglass with a thickness of 0.08 inch.
Practical Limits of the FM Approved Rating
The blanket meets FM Approved requirements for medium-duty welding protection. It withstands intermittent exposure up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit but is not intended for continuous service at that temperature. The uncoated fiberglass surface can shed fibers during handling and does not repel molten metal as effectively as coated alternatives. Grommet spacing of 24 inches limits mounting options to compatible frame or hook spacing.
Check Your Workspace Before Ordering
Verify that a six-foot square sheet covers the intended spark or spatter zone without excessive overlap. Confirm the 24-inch grommet spacing matches existing hanging points or frame dimensions. The 0.08-inch thickness adds minimal bulk but may not shield against heavy slag buildup in high-deposition processes. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Which weight rating should I choose for medium-duty welding protection?
The 32 oz/sq yd fiberglass blanket is rated for medium duty and withstands up to 1,000 Degrees F, making it suitable for general welding and cutting tasks.
What does the 1,000 Degrees F rating mean when the blanket is used on a workbench?
It indicates the maximum continuous temperature the uncoated fiberglass material can handle without degrading, so it will shield the surface from sparks, spatter and radiant heat during typical MIG or stick welding.
How do the brass grommets spaced 24 in apart affect mounting options?
With two grommets on each corner and 24 in spacing along the edges, you can hang the 6 ft by 6 ft blanket from hooks, chains or a frame to create a vertical curtain or a flat shield.
