Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy an N95 respirator in Canada?

Right here. We are a Canadian supplier based in London, Ontario, and carry the N95 respirator in Canada, including 3M disposable respirators, that finishers depend on for dust protection. An N95 respirator in Canada filters at least 95 percent of airborne particles, making it a solid everyday choice for sanding and general dust. Everything ships nationwide, so you can order without leaving the jobsite.

What's the difference between disposable and reusable respirators?

They are designed for different purposes. Disposable particulate respirators, such as the 3M N95 models, are lightweight, inexpensive, and suitable for dust and sanding. In contrast, half-mask respirators, such as the MSA Advantage, can be fitted with replaceable cartridges for extended use and chemical protection. Many crews have disposables for day-to-day dust work and a half-mask for painting or solvents.

Which respirator do I need for drywall dust and sanding?

A properly fitted N95 respirator in Canada is typically sufficient to prevent fine particles from entering the lungs during drywall sanding and general dust exposure. When spraying paint, using solvents, or handling materials that emit vapours, step up to a reusable half-mask with the appropriate cartridge. Let us know what you need to do, and we will direct you to the appropriate level of protection.

Do you carry replacement cartridges and filters?

Yes. We stock MSA multi-gas cartridges and replacement filters for the reusable masks we sell, allowing you to keep a mask in service rather than replacing the entire mask. It is important to match the cartridge to the hazard, so if you are not sure which one your work requires, please contact us.

Can I order respirators in bulk for my crew?

Absolutely. Crews go through disposable respirators quickly, so we can supply them by the box or case and set up trade pricing through our Trade Accounts. Send us the models and quantities you need, and we'll get your team equipped.

What's the difference between 3M and MSA respirators?

They are both reputable safety brands, each with its own strengths. 3M is recognized for its extensive line of disposable particulate respirators, while MSA is a leader in reusable half-mask respirators and cartridge systems. We carry both, so you can equip your crew with the right mix of disposables and reusables.

Do you ship respirators across Canada?

Yes. As a proud Canadian supplier, we ship respirators nationwide, with free shipping on qualifying orders above our posted threshold. Whether you need one mask or a case, you can order online and have it delivered to your door or jobsite.
