Blast Shield Folks,
I can't say enough about the professional service of this company.
First, great website, knowledgeable, friendly phone ordering
experience and quick delivery of package (2 days). When the package
arrived you open the box and on top in a clear cellophane sleeve is
your information on installation, warranty, and receipt. Nestled in
the center of the box in a zip lock bag is the blast shield/marver
product. After a minute or two it is attached and ready to be used.
What a beautifully made piece of equipment, easy to use and well
thought out. What a difference in the heat that is deflected away. I
stick my hand on the flame side of the shield at times to get a
reality check. The marver, being a 90° piece of graphite is great for
doing work up close and out of the heat, behind the shield. I do a lot
of marble work and stand a lot, I would recommend getting the shield a
little taller than I did (5" x 6") maybe 5" x 7" or 8" to cover the
flame more. Other than that, which is my fault for not thinking it
out before hand, you couldn't ask for a better product or service.
Great Job!
Thanks
Scott
There are multiple benefits to using a blast shield, since we all
work differently, we are impacted by different benefits depending
on how we work and how hot it is where we live. My main benefit,
since I work long days, is that my eyes don't burn at night, and I no
longer see spots. I don't think most people realize how much the
radiant heat dries out your eyes and effects your vision. Another
huge benefit for me is how well it blocks radiant heat with bigger
masses, it gets over 115 degrees here in Redding CA in the
summer, a blast shield has become a must have in my shop! I
would recommend the IR/UV protection, it's well worth it. In
conclusion I would like to personally thank everybody involved
with The Bast Shield for putting out a top notch product, and
having great service!!
Thanks Again Frankie Hess
