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.
