Why Choose Cotton Calico Dust Sheets Over Cotton Canvas and Cotton Twill?
Cotton calico dust sheets are lightweight but offer flexible protection without the added weight of the twill or canvas alternatives. Calico dust sheets are super easy to handle, reposition and transport whether this be between rooms or between different jobs.
Cotton calico sheets excel due to their waterproof qualities keeping the surface underneath protected should a spillage occur. Whereas, twill dust sheets are not considered waterproof and may not fully protect the surface underneath.
