Buy Fire Blankets | Reliable Fire Protection for Work and Home
Whether in a workshop, on a construction site, at home, or in a business, a fire can break out at any time. Especially with grease fires, welding work, or electrical equipment, quick and precise action is essential. Fire blankets, also known as fire suppression blankets, offer a simple and effective solution for tackling small fires—without water or chemicals, but with great impact.

- Industrial businesses and workshops
- Construction sites and storage facilities
- Auto repair shops and welding stations
- Kitchens in restaurants, workplaces, or private homes
- Offices, labs, and technical rooms
- Emergency kits, fire stations, and first aid kits
Also useful in vehicles, motorhomes, or camping gear.

What to Consider When Buying:
Material Quality:
Look for fiberglass or other flame-resistant materials with certified heat resistance (often 500°C or more). Check for EN 1869 certification.
Size:
Choose based on your use case:
- 100 × 100 cm (small devices, camping)
- 120 × 120 cm (standard size for kitchens and workshops)
- 180 × 180 cm (clothing or larger objects)
Storage:
Hard plastic boxes or soft wall pouches with pull straps allow fast access in emergencies. Mount in visible, easily reachable places.
Ease of Use:
Two marked pull tabs enable fast removal and immediate readiness.
How to Use a Fire Blanket:
- Pull the blanket from its pouch using the tabs
- Unfold carefully, keeping hands behind the fabric
- Place it over the flames from top to bottom, covering fully
- Leave in place for at least 20 minutes—do not remove immediately
- Do not reuse after deployment
Tip: Practice the procedure. Training builds confidence in emergencies.
Storage & Maintenance:
- Store visibly and accessibly (e.g. kitchen, first aid kit, workstation)
- Do not fold or damage the material
- Replace after any use—fire blankets are single-use items
