It has been a busy time for those involved in any form of home construction, especially for carpenters and joiners. The pandemic has fuelled the growth of home improvement projects and there is no surprise we have seen an increased demand for PPE. MStore has a wide range of protective eyewear and the best safety glasses for woodworking and construction include special features aimed at making the work as safe and comfortable as possible.
So what are the best safety glasses for woodworking?
Here are our favourites:
Riley Eyewear is top of our list. We offer a variety of Riley safety goggles that provide protection for those working in a woodworking environment. So what have they got to offer?
Protection from airborne particles – Riley Velia
Working with wood comes with its own hazards. Sawdust, chippings and other small particles can damage the eyes causing pain, inflammation and serious injury. Our Velia protective glasses have the following safety features:
- Pivoting head strap that is elasticated and adjustable.
- Padded seal and comfort fit nose bridge, which helps prevent airborne elements from getting into your eyes.
- Clear polycarbonate wraparound lenses provide a wide field of vision.
- Can be worn over prescription frames.
- Indirect ventilation to reduce the risk of sawdust particles entering your eyes.
- Scratch and fog resistant.
Exceptional Vision – Riley Arezzo
When using a range of wood joinery and carpentry techniques it’s important to have good vision. The Arezzo safety goggles offer a fully adjustable head strap and a soft PVC comfort frame. These ultra slim and lightweight goggles are designed to enhance your field of vision whilst protecting you as you work.
Anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings ensure your vision remains clear and minimum lens damage is achieved from impact woodwork.
Fog Resistant – Riley Stream Evo
You want to be able to see clearly especially if you’re dealing with loose bits of wood and particles flying around. There’s nothing more frustrating than having glasses that keep steaming up. It’s not only disruptive to your work but also dangerous.
The Stream Evo anti-fog protection glasses come in a range of colours with an adjustable rubber nose bridge, meaning that steaming goggles are a thing of the past. 100% metal-free and ultra-lightweight, the Stream Evo eye protection matches comfort with practicability. Lateral protection provides maximum safety.
If it’s the fog resistant glasses that you’re after, then keep an eye out for glasses with a TECTON™ coating, a lens technology that combats steam and prevents fogging. Additionally, TECTON™ offers scratch and abrasion resistance. The Riley Stream EVO glasses are coated with TECTON 400™, which means they’re UV light repellent as well as steam and scratch-resistant.
