What Gloves Should A Roofer Wear?

As a professional roofer, you’ll know how integral it is to keep your hands safe whilst working. Working in roofing means there are a number of things that could aggravate your hands day to day. So getting a suitable pair of gloves is necessary.

The first thing to do before deciding to purchase, is to consider the choice of gloves out there.

The most favoured gloves are grip gloves. They not only aid with shielding your skin, but the latex coating also give you the ideal grip as you work with tiles. The opposite side is a material that allows ventilation (due to being knitted), therefore your hands don’t get too hot.

On the other hand, you don’t want your hands getting cold in the winter either. So thermal gloves are a good choice here. These are lined with acrylic to save your hands from the weather changing. Other choices are water resistant, or cut resistant (both good in bad weather or when using tools).

There are a few factors to think about when protecting your hands from the elements at work, so if you require any roofing services in Oxford, call us today.
