What are knee pads used for?

Knee pads are safety tools that are intended to protect the knees from injury and discomfort when working on hard surfaces or engaging in knee-pressure activities. Construction workers, flooring installers, gardeners, and other tradespeople whose work requires kneeling or crawling frequently use them.

What are the 2 types of knee pads?

  • Hard shell knee pads offer additional protection from impacts, such as those caused by falling items or jagged edges. They are frequently used by tradesmen who work in high-risk areas where the knee is exposed to potential impact dangers, such as roofers, construction workers, and others.
  • Soft shell knee pads support and cushion the knee with a softer, more flexible shell that is often made of foam or gel. They are used frequently by flooring installers, gardeners, and other tradespeople whose work requires kneeling or crawling because they are more flexible and comfortable to wear than hard shell knee pads.

Both types of knee pads come in different sizes and styles to suit different body types and work environments, and they can be worn over or under clothing.
