Face shields, also called face visors or face guards, are personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to offer full face coverage for added protection against airborne contaminants and harmful particles. These eye and face protection devices are typically made from flexible, transparent materials that allow full visibility and shield from various physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Unlike standard face masks and safety goggles, a face shield offers full face coverage while allowing easier communication and visibility. Our face shields are ideal for electricians and other applications, including general purpose use, cleaning, painting, welding, and industrial maintenance.
Why Buy Face Shields?
Purchasing face shields provides unparalleled benefits for individuals working in environments exposed to hazardous materials. The most notable benefit is that a face shield protects the wearer’s face, which is vulnerable to various injuries, and the mouth, a common route for many viruses and bacteria. Face visors also protect the wearer’s eyes. Additionally, face shields are easy to clean, have anti-fog features, and are a cost-effective option for shielding against a range of workplace hazards.

We offer a variety of face shields ideal for a variety of applications. Our collection includes:
- Headband Face Shield – A headband face shield is the most common type, consisting of a plastic or transparent barrier attached to a headband that fits around your forehead. It's easy to put on and take off and provides complete face protection.
- Anti-Fog Face Shields – These face guards come with a special coating designed to prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the shield.

- Vented Face Shields – Vented face shields provide increased airflow, reducing heat build-up and fogging. They offer enhanced breathability and comfort during extended periods.
- Face Shield with Built-in Goggles – These face guards combine the protection of a face shield with the eye coverage of protective goggles. This type is ideal for situations where both eye and face protection are necessary.
