As we already have tackled, for any instance of moving either overseas, abroad or just in another state, moving blankets have manifested their usefulness during the transport of your delicate house pieces and furniture. However though, due to the different preferences of their users, there are currently different types of a moving blanket that are manufactured. They vary in thickness, durability factor and of course, in prices. In this article, we will tackle the different types that are commonly used by many homeowners, moving services firms or moving companies.
Although there are many types of moving blankets these days available at varying sizes, colors and prices. Below are the most common one could see being used to wrap the items for transport:
Economy Type Blanket – This type can be the cheapest moving blanket that is available if you opt to purchase one. They are mostly of the non-quilted or the non-woven type. They are just plain covering without any cushion stuffing in them. They are mainly used to protect items against stains and dust and nothing more. Even with their limited capabilities, they are still good to go for a good number of moving instances or situations.
Premium Grade – These are bulky sheets with heavy cushion stuffing and highly durable woven material. Their outer sheets are usually made of terylene or some polyester variants which are highly durable and weather resistant while at the same time having the characteristic of being soft and flexible. As such, they can be heavy things to muster around. However though, this type has proven to create a high degree of protection for the moved furniture items especially for longer hauls such as international moving or cross country moving. This type is favored heavily by many moving and storage companies as they can ably provide adequate protection to the items being transported.
Cotton Type – Cotton material, as we all know, is made out of cotton and as such, they can cost more. That soft and smooth organic material used for many applications have found their way into moving blankets. This blanket is the fluffiest of all making it a good protection against bumps that can damage any exterior portion of a delicate furniture item. What makes them also a heavy favorite is because of the typical characteristic of cotton. That is, they tend to be not slippery which makes handling the items during loading and unloading not quite a dilemma.
