Thermal Gloves

Thermal gloves can be a game-changing upgrade when working in cold, harsh conditions. Your hands are your most important tool and if they are cold, they won't work anywhere near their maximum potential. Whether it's bricklaying, assembly, or general outdoor maintenance work, thermal gloves can ensure your hands are kept at an optimal temperature. This comes at no detriment to grip, dexterity and, if necessary, chemical, and water resistance. Carry out a full risk assessment to ensure these are the right gloves for you.

About Thermal Gloves

Thermal work gloves are designed to provide insulation to hands in cold or freezing work environments. Usually designed using thermal materials and insulation layers, our range of thermal work gloves maintains comfortable hand temperatures for workers exposed to extremes in temperature, inside or out. Some work-insulated gloves also provide short-term protection when touching extreme heat.

Whether working outdoors in freezing temperatures, with hot objects, or handling food in refrigerated environments, quality work thermal gloves are essential for protecting your hands from frostbite and temperature related injuries whilst being comfortable and deliver the best levels of dexterity for the protection level you need.

Many thermal insulated work gloves also provide water resistance, feature specialised grip patterns and are made from premium materials to help with protection from other commonly found workplace hazards. We stock solutions for a wide range of needs and use cases!

Waterproof Thermal Gloves

Providing some level of waterproofing, these gloves are very popular in trades such as construction, landscaping and fishing operations, where handling items in the cold and wet is common.

Cut Resistant Thermal Gloves

Gloves that provide thermal resistance and cut protection are essential in industries like metal fabricators and on location automotive repair specialists.

Food Rated Cold Resistant Gloves

Cold-resistant work gloves are a go-to for professions requiring food-safe gloves where work is being carried out in a refrigerated environment. These are food rated, so won't introduce any contaminants into handled food.

What Makes a Good Thermal Work Glove?

Grip

Always consider a thermal resistant glove's grip when evaluating its suitability for the task at hand. Better grip reduces the risk of mistakes, accidents and burns.

Breathability

While clammy hands won't affect a glove's protective ratings, they can shorten the amount of time a worker is willing to wear them. If workers remove their chemical-proof gloves to let their hands breathe, this may increase the risk of exposure to chemicals/hazardous substances.

Dexterity

Just like grip, maintaining high dexterity in your gloves reduces the risk of accidents by allowing better hand movement and interaction with your environment.

Thermal Protection

When selecting your gloves, consider the level and type of thermal protection needed. In heat protection, consider the level of resistance needed to flames, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, contact with molten metal. For cold resistance consider resistance to convective cold, contact cold and permeability to water.

Certifications

EN 407 rates thermal gloves on resistance to flames, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, and molten metal splashes. EN 511 rates cold resistance for convective cold, contact cold, and water permeability. Choose gloves that best meet your work environment's needs.

Materials

Consider any potential allergies or sensitivities you may have to common glove materials. For individuals with latex allergies for example, non-latex alternatives like nitrile anti-cut gloves should be chosen.
