At Tingstad, you'll find knee pads for work in construction, flooring, trades, and other professions where kneeling is a regular part of the job. We offer both lightweight and heavy-duty knee pads from brands such as Blåkläder, Snickers Workwear, Portwest, and Jobman.
Knee pads help distribute pressure across the knees and provide protection when working on hard or uneven surfaces. Choose a model based on how often you work in a kneeling position and the type of surface you work on. If the knee pads are intended for insertion into work trouser knee pockets, be sure to check that they are compatible with the specific trouser model.
If you spend a lot of time working on your knees, a good pair of knee pads can make a significant difference to your comfort throughout the workday. However, not all knee pads are designed for the same tasks. They differ in terms of materials, thickness, and how effectively they distribute pressure across the knees.
For tradespeople and flooring installers who work in a kneeling position for extended periods, it may be beneficial to choose knee pads with effective pressure distribution and suitable cushioning. If you work on rough or uneven surfaces, you should also consider the knee pad's resistance to penetration.
For service work and shorter periods of kneeling, a lighter and more flexible model may be a suitable alternative.
Many knee pads are designed to be inserted into dedicated knee pad pockets in work trousers. This keeps the protection securely in place without requiring separate straps around the legs.
Keep in mind that not all knee pads fit all trousers. Check which models are recommended for your work trousers and how the pads should be positioned to provide the intended protection.
EN 14404 is a series of standards for knee protection used during work in a kneeling position. The standard includes requirements for the performance of the knee protection as well as how knee pads and work trousers function together.
Check the product's certification and protection level when choosing knee pads, especially if you work on uneven surfaces or where there is a risk of sharp objects.
Knee pads also need to fit correctly and be in good condition to perform as intended. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance.
