What Are Moving Blankets?
Moving Blankets are designed to act as a protective barrier against scratches or potential damage to sensitive surfaces that otherwise can easily happen during a move. Moving blankets are made from high-quality, heavy-duty fabric and use an “S” stitching pattern that binds the materials together to create ultimate protection for sensitive surfaces.
Moving Blankets are commonly made in size 72 inches in height and 80 inches in width but can be rotated to provide the ideal protection for various sizes of items you are protecting. The industry standard way of determining how good of quality moving blankets are is by the weight per dozen moving blankets. The level of protection against dings, dents, and scratches improves with the amount of material used to create the moving blankets.
Our Moving Blankets are made from a colorfast material that provides true color from dozen to dozen so you know exactly what you are getting. One of the additional benefits of using colorfast fabric is that the color does not fade over time compared to other fabrics which may discoloration over repetitive usage or age.
The Different Levels of Protection Moving Blankets Can Offer
When it comes to moving blankets, there are numerous weights, levels of protection, and prices associated with the levels of protection as more fabric, stitching, and logistics are involved. Before purchasing any moving blanket you should know the level of protection you are looking for and if you need moving blankets for a one-time use, multiple-time use, or repetitive usage. Let’s begin with the different levels of protection moving blankets can offer.
Good Levels of Protection – Warehouse Pads – Our non-woven warehouse pads weigh approximately 4.5 to 5.5 lbs per moving blanket or 54 lbs to 64 lbs per dozen moving blankets. These are our lightest-weight moving blankets offer a good level of protection and are commonly used as a limited-time use blanket for those who are moving for the first time.
These blankets are extremely economical and are 72 inches by 80 inches in size and are made from the heavy-duty “S” stitching pattern that binds the heavy-duty fabric together. This blanket is ideal for surfaces ranging from wooden surfaces, glass surfaces, metal surfaces, and more. These moving blankets are also ideal for those who are in manufacturing or warehouses as they can be placed over the finished products to prevent dust, scratches, or dings during storage or transport.
Better Levels of Protection – Van Pads – Van Pads are known as our better level of protection moving blankets are the in-between level between our lowest and our highest level protection options. These moving blankets are also 72 inches by 80 inches in size and weigh approximately 78 to 87 lbs per dozen blankets. This blanket has enough layers of fabric that they can be extremely durable and be used for multiple moves or longer depending on how they are used.
Our Van Pads are most commonly used inside of Moving Vans for professional movers or inside of dry vans as they provide excellent protection to household goods, furniture, or customers’ cargo. This level of moving blankets uses more fabric than our warehouse pads which in return offers better protection against dings, dents, and scratches. Made with our “S” style lock stitching pattern to ensure heavy-duty strength and durability.
Best Levels of Protection – Furniture Pads – Furniture pads are our heaviest-duty moving blankets and our best level of protection as they use the highest number of materials and fabrics to create. Furniture pads weigh 83 to 93 lbs per dozen moving blankets in the size of 72 inches to 80 inches and are made from a polyester and cotton blend. The “S” style lock stitching helps bind the material together to offer the highest levels of protection and durability against scratches, dings, and small dents.
These moving blankets are ideal for those who are professional movers, moving often, moving antiques, moving car parts, or those who are moving higher-end furniture or furniture that is extremely sensitive and needs the extra layers of protection. Pianos are commonly transported with these blankets as they offer some of the highest protection in the moving industry and provide excellent peace of mind.
Are Cheap Moving Blankets Worth The Price?
Cheap moving blankets are often the moving blankets you find inside hardware stores or moving stores. The biggest problem with using these types of moving blankets is they often don’t provide you with the level of protection they advertise. For example, our lightest-moving blankets are 54 to 64 lbs per dozen and have been tested and proven throughout the last 3 decades as the lightest protection moving blankets anyone should use to expect minimal damage when moving.
The moving blankets found at these stores can be nearly half of the weight per dozen offer minimal amounts of protection and are found in 24 lbs to 36 lbs per dozen moving blankets. At this weight per dozen moving blankets they are often unable to offer any real protection and are at extreme risk of the cargo or personal belongings you are transporting becoming damaged.
Although the price of these cheap moving blankets may be tempting you have to ultimately ask yourself if is it better to save a dollar or two per moving blanket or risk the furniture or personal belongings you are transporting to arrive damaged. Furniture over the last decade has become increasingly more expensive to replace and it’s often cheaper insurance to purchase quality moving blankets from a quality seller.
If you are a professional mover or professional trucker there is absolutely nothing worse than arriving at the final destination to find out that after securing and moving the cargo it has become damaged and you need to relay this information to the customer. This leads to expensive insurance claims, upset customers, and loss of repeat business which can quickly add up over time. We sell high-quality and heavy-duty moving blankets to help you avoid this situation and ensure your cargo is kept safely while on the road.
