Knee Pads

 
If you're not used to being on the floor, knee pads should definitely be on the shopping list! Any old knee pads is not the way to go. This is especially important with prefinished flooring
installations. Any kind of protection that have hard plastic or metal in their construction should be avoided. Other types that can pick up small pieces of grit and cling to the knee pads will eventually scratch that new floor when you're least expecting it.

Cloth type knee pads are often preferred, but they will pick up grit. It's best to shake them out often when in doubt. There are also ergonomic type knee pads that are incredibly comfortable. One particular interesting manufacturer Fluid Forms, offers their 1002 Patella T Wedge Knee Pads (shown right).

The knee pads work with a contained fluid. If you've ever knelt on a small child's inner tube, it provides same effect magnified several times.
