The weight and thickness of a welding blanket or tarp impact its durability, flexibility, and level of protection. Thicker, heavier materials (e.g., 67 oz./yd²) provide enhanced resistance to sparks, heat, and mechanical damage, making them suitable for high-intensity work, while lighter options (e.g., 14 mil vinyl or 18 oz./yd²) offer easier handling and are ideal for lighter-duty applications. For instance, the Lincoln Welding Blanket - 6 ft x 6 ft - 1100° C Rated is a heavy-duty option with high material density, while the Lincoln Flame Retardant Vinyl Welding Screen/Curtain 6 x 8 ft. Red features a 14 mil thick vinyl for robust yet flexible protection. The category includes a variety of thicknesses, allowing you to match the product to your usage demands.
