Vaunt Trolleys
Vaunt PPE covers the day to day site basics that stop small jobs turning into bigger problems, from eye and hearing protection to gloves, masks and knee pads.
When you're in and out of dusty rooms, kneeling on concrete, or cutting overhead, vaunt ppe is the sort of kit you keep close because it saves your body taking the hit. Vaunt personal protective equipment is built for regular trade use without overcomplicating the buy. If you're sorting out the essentials for first fix, snagging, clean-up or general site work, this is the range to get squared away before the shift starts. You can also browse Vaunt Workwear & PPE, Vaunt and Vaunt Shop All if you're building out the rest of your kit.
What Is Vaunt PPE Used For?
- Protecting your eyes during cutting, grinding, drilling and general fixings work where dust, sparks and flying bits are part of the day, especially when you are moving between rooms and need vaunt safety glasses that stay easy to wear.
- Knocking down noise on demo, chasing and breaker jobs where constant hammering soon gets tiring, with vaunt ear defenders giving you proper hearing protection without getting in the way of the rest of your kit.
- Keeping dust out on sanding, sweeping, plaster patching and light masonry jobs where the air fills up quickly, so a vaunt dust mask makes sense for short duration site tasks and tidy-up work.
- Saving your hands and knuckles when shifting sheet materials, handling rough timber, loading blocks or clearing waste, because vaunt gloves give you grip and protection for the jobs that chew through cheap pairs.
- Taking the sting out of flooring, fit-out and low-level work where you are down on hard surfaces for hours, with vaunt knee pads helping stop sore knees when fitting skirting, sockets or kitchen units.
Choosing the Right Vaunt PPE
Match the protection to the task first. Buying the cheapest bit on the page only works until the job turns dusty, noisy or awkward on your knees.
1. Eye Protection for the Job in Front of You
If you are drilling, grinding or cutting overhead, go for vaunt safety glasses that give proper wraparound coverage and stay comfortable for longer wear. If they pinch or mist up too easily, they will end up in your pocket instead of on your face.
2. Hearing Protection by Noise Level
If you are around breakers, saws or long periods of hammer drilling, vaunt ear defenders are the sensible option over doing without. For short, quieter tasks you might get by with lighter protection, but repeated noise soon catches up with you.
3. Masks for Dust, Not Just for Show
If the job throws up fine dust from sanding, sweeping or light cutting, pick a vaunt dust mask that suits that level of exposure. Do not kid yourself that any mask does every task. Match the mask to the dust and change it when it is spent.
4. Gloves and Knee Pads by Wear Time
If you are handling rough stock all day, get gloves with enough grip and toughness to last more than one shift. If you are flooring, fitting kitchens or working low for hours, proper vaunt knee pads are worth it because sore knees slow you down fast.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Sparkies use vaunt ppe for chasing walls, drilling fixings and working overhead, where safety glasses, dust masks and knee pads stop the little annoyances building up over a full shift.
- Chippies and fitters keep vaunt safety equipment in the van for cutting sheet, fitting doors and snagging, because gloves and eye protection are the bits you reach for all day rather than once a week.
- General builders and labourers rely on vaunt personal protective equipment for clear-up, material handling and mixed site jobs, where hearing protection and gloves take the edge off repetitive rough work.
- Floor layers, kitchen fitters and maintenance teams swear by knee pads for long spells on concrete or subfloor, especially when the job keeps you low down and moving from room to room.
Choose the Right Vaunt PPE for the Job
Use this quick guide to sort the basics before you get on site.
| Your Job | Category or Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting, grinding and drilling in dusty rooms | Vaunt safety glasses | Clear vision, side coverage, comfortable fit you will actually keep on |
| Breaker work, hammer drilling and noisy strip out | Vaunt ear defenders | Good noise reduction, secure fit, easy to wear with the rest of your site kit |
| Sanding, sweeping and light masonry dust | Vaunt dust mask | Suitable dust rating, decent face fit, simple replacement when clogged |
| Handling timber, block, waste and sheet materials | Vaunt gloves | Grip, abrasion resistance, enough feel to still handle fixings and tools |
| Flooring, sockets, skirting and kitchen fitting | Vaunt knee pads | Cushioning, stable fit, protection that does not keep sliding out of place |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying one bit of ppe for every task is a common mistake. Safety glasses, ear defenders, gloves and masks all do different jobs, so match the protection to the risk instead of guessing.
- Leaving ppe in the van until you think you need it usually means you put it on too late. Keep the basics on you or near the work area so they actually get used when the cutting and dust starts.
- Choosing gloves that are too bulky can make handling screws, plugs and small fixings a nuisance. Pick enough protection for the task, but not so much that you lose feel and end up taking them off.
- Using a dust mask past its useful life is false economy. Once it is clogged, damaged or no longer seals properly, bin it and fit a fresh one so you are not breathing the muck anyway.
- Treating knee pads as optional on hard floors is how you end up sore by midweek. If the job has you kneeling for any real length of time, wear them from the start rather than after the damage is done.
Safety Glasses vs Ear Defenders vs Dust Masks
Vaunt Safety Glasses
Best for jobs where flying dust, chips or sparks are the main problem. They are the bit you will wear most often on mixed site work, but they only protect your eyes, so do not treat them as a substitute for masks or hearing protection.
Vaunt Ear Defenders
Best for long, noisy work with breakers, saws and hammer drills where the racket is constant. They cut fatigue and protect your hearing, but they are no help with dust or impact, so they need pairing with the rest of your ppe.
Vaunt Dust Masks
Best for dusty tasks like sanding, sweeping up and light cutting where the air fills up quickly. They help with what you breathe in, but they are not eye protection and they are not hearing protection, so build your kit around the actual hazard.
Gloves and Knee Pads
These are about wear and tear on your body rather than dust or noise. Gloves suit handling, carrying and rough materials, while knee pads earn their keep on flooring, fitting and any low level work where hard surfaces punish you all day.
Maintenance and Care
Clean It After Dusty Work
Wipe down safety glasses, ear defenders and knee pads after dirty jobs so dust and grit do not build up. Clear lenses stay usable longer, and clean pads are less miserable to wear the next morning.
Store PPE Properly
Do not just throw everything loose in the back of the van under rubble and offcuts. Keeping vaunt ppe in a clean box or bag helps stop lenses getting scratched, masks getting crushed and straps getting damaged.
Check for Wear Before Use
Look over gloves for splits, knee pads for worn faces and masks for damage before you start. A quick check saves you finding out halfway through the job that the protection has already had it.
Replace Consumable Items on Time
Dust masks and heavily worn gloves are not forever items. Once they stop fitting right, clog up or lose protection, replace them instead of trying to squeeze another week out of them.
Repair Less and Replace Sensibly
If lenses are badly scratched, ear defenders no longer seal, or knee pads have gone flat, replacement is usually the smarter call. PPE only earns its keep when it still protects properly.

Vaunt PPE FAQs
What PPE does Vaunt make?
Vaunt makes the site essentials you actually use day to day, including safety glasses, ear defenders, dust masks, gloves and knee pads. It is the sort of practical protection suited to general building, fitting, maintenance and workshop work rather than overcomplicated specialist kit.
Is Vaunt PPE suitable for professional tradespeople?
Yes, for everyday trade use it is a sensible choice. Vaunt ppe is aimed at the regular site basics that sparkies, chippies, builders and maintenance teams get through constantly, especially for first fix, snagging, clean-up and general protection on mixed jobs.
Are Vaunt safety glasses CE certified?
Check the individual product listing for the exact certification details, because that is where the compliance information is shown. That is always the right move with any eye protection, especially if you are buying for site rules or specific health and safety requirements.
What types of PPE are in the Vaunt range?
The Vaunt range covers eye protection, hearing protection, respiratory basics, hand protection and knee protection. In plain terms, that means vaunt safety glasses, vaunt ear defenders, vaunt dust mask options, gloves and knee pads for common site and workshop jobs.
Is Vaunt PPE good enough for full time site work, or is it just occasional use kit?
For day to day general trade work, yes, it is built for regular use. The sensible approach is to choose the right bit for the actual task and replace consumable or worn items on time, because even good ppe is no use once it is past its best.
Will Vaunt gloves and knee pads hold up on rough jobs?
They are made for the kind of knocks, kneeling and handling that happen on normal site work, but be realistic about wear. Gloves dragged over block all week and knee pads used daily on concrete will wear out eventually, so buy them as working kit, not lifetime kit.
Do I need separate Vaunt PPE items, or will one product cover everything?
You need separate items for separate risks. Safety glasses protect your eyes, ear defenders deal with noise, dust masks help with what you breathe in, gloves protect your hands and knee pads save your joints. No single piece covers the lot properly.
