The Problem

HVAC work shreds hands. Ductwork edges slice through skin. Coil fins puncture fingertips. Every sheet metal seam is a potential cut.

Gloves are too hot in attics and too bulky for electrical connections. Going bare means accepting cuts that get infected in dirty duct systems.

You need protection that works in extreme conditions.

How Guard-Tex Helps

Sheet Metal Defense

Duct edges and coil fins cut the tape, not your skin. Two layers stops most slices.

Breathes in Heat

Cotton weave lets air through. Works in hot attics where gloves create swamp hands.

Full Dexterity

Make electrical connections by feel. Thread screws. Work in tight air handlers.

Guard-Tex vs. Gloves

Cut-resistant gloves are too hot for attic work. Nitrile tears on first sheet metal edge. Leather kills dexterity for electrical. Guard-Tex protects without the heat penalty.

How to Wrap

1

Identify Wear Points

Wrap fingertips and knuckles before ductwork. Add palm wraps for heavy sheet metal.

2

Wrap 2-3 Layers

Two layers minimum for sheet metal. Three for new construction with sharp edges.

3

Unwrap Clean

Unwrap clean. No adhesive pulling at cuts.

Pro Tips

  • Double-wrap fingertips before coil cleaning—fins are the worst.
  • Wrap under cut-resistant gloves for extra protection on fabrication.
  • Black tape hides attic grime better than beige.

FAQ

Will Guard-Tex protect from sheet metal cuts?

Two layers stops most sheet metal slices. For heavy fabrication work, use three layers or combine with cut-resistant gloves.

Does it work in hot attics?

Yes. Cotton weave breathes better than any glove. No swamp hands, no lost grip from sweat.

Can I still make electrical connections?

Yes. The thin profile maintains the dexterity needed for wire nuts and terminal screws.
