About Sanding Paper

Sanding paper sheets are widely used in the commercial sector and also for DIY tasks at home. From being the first step of painting the house to removing the existing coat on the car, sandpaper comes in handy in every way.

These particular types of papers are also referred to as glass paper, abrasive paper, or grit paper. Constructively these papers have a sheet of paper or cloth which has abrasive material on the other side. These papers are also used as a powerful tool to increase efficiency. Here they are known as the power sending tools and used to remove the material efficiently and quickly. These tools serve effectively to prepare and smooth any surface for painting or any other application. You can find these papers in sheets, discs, or belts to suit different needs. Here is everything you need to know about wet and dry sandpapers.

Everything you need to know about sandpaper grit

Sandpapers are used as a powerful tool to smooth any surface by hand. These papers help to remove dirt swiftly. Thus, they are the right choice for getting rid of blemishes or for levelling or shaping wood. Power sanding is also an effective way to prepare metal surfaces before painting or polishing. Hand sanding products give a lighter touch for finishing and woodworking. Here you can have better control over product throughout the sanding process, and thus you can sand areas that a common mechanized power sander cannot reach. With proper techniques and types of paper, you can align and smooth any surface with perfection.

Natural abrasive based sandpapers

There are different types of sandpapers available in the market. One way to determine what sandpaper works for a particular job is to know the abrasive materials and their properties. Among the natural types, garnet is a reliable option for hand sanding. It works well on raw wood, preparing the surface for finishing and removing light scratches. Here the abrasive particles break during use and offer renewed edges for removing materials, but the paper wears too quickly. Emery is another common type of works for both power and hand sanding. It uses coarser grits, usually best for removing paint or rust.

Artificial abrasive based sandpapers

In this category, aluminium oxide is a common sandpaper type that works fine on metal, plastic, wood, and drywall. The long particles break during sanding and regularly expose sharp new edges. These papers are a long-lasting and thus popular choice of professionals for power sanding. You can also use the silicon carbide sandpaper that removed materials quicker than previously mentioned; however, it does not last long.  But you can use it on plastic, metal, or wood for rust removal, pre-panting, rough sanding, or sanding between coats for finishing. Zirconia alumina is also popular and suitable for metal, wood, fibreglass, and painted surfaces.

Everything about sandpaper grit numbers

When you head to buy sandpaper blocks for sale, you will find the variety available with different grit numbers. Here the grit number indicated the size of abrasive particles. So, the lower the grit number larger the abrasive particles will be; they remove more material while creating more noticeable scratches. A higher number also indicated smaller particles that do not remove as many materials but leave a finer and polished surface.  Also, each higher grit removes scratched from the previous grit and deliver a finer surface. There is a wide range of grit from 24 for heaviest removal to 2000 and more for working with automotive finish. Whereas grit between 60 to 220 can handle most of the household projects.

Mandatory sanding tools

To get the best of your sanding paper, you will need to work with some standard sanding tools. A hand sander or sanding block is the essential tool you will need to cut the sheet to size. This tool also offers control, comfort and leverage and thus generates more results on a flat surface. Likewise, pole sanders also accept sandpaper sheets. And you can use them to sand bigger surfaces like drywall. At times you will also need orbital sanders, also known as sheet or finishing sanders. These are handheld power tools that use smaller sheets of sandpaper attached to a base. Other devices, such as drills, oscillating tools, and rotary tools, can use bits and accessories designed to handle sanding jobs.

Tips on how to buy Sandpaper for wood online in the UAE

The first thing you need to keep in mind is that the best sandpaper for metal will always be different from an ideal paper for wood. So, before you head to buy these gritted papers, assess your needs, and decide for what purpose you want to use them. For example, let us say you want to smooth your furniture before applying new polish; focus on buying an ideal option for your wood. There are several factors you will need to consider before getting the right pick in hand. If you fail, you may end up with a wasted buck and are more likely to lose your furniture.

  • Assess your needs – Always start by assessing your needs. For this purpose, you need to check the condition and type of material you want to rub sandpaper on. Buying the right type of sandpaper (the one according to your surface material) will ensure the safety of your furniture or metal.
  • Know your grit – Once you are clear about the type of paper you need, it is time to decide what number of grits you will need to do the job nicely. Here your options include extra coarse; standard coarse; medium coarse; fine, and extra-fine papers.  Study each type to know the difference before buying.
  • Sandpaper material – As discussed previously, sandpaper comes in different materials. You need to decide what you need to buy from silicon carbide, aluminium oxide, Garnet or Zirconia alumina. You can consult expert suggestions to find the ideal option.
  • The size of paper – Once you are clear with the type of paper and grit you will need, it is time to assess how much of the paper you will need to do the job. It is always better to have some extras for emergency use.

Having a stock of sanding papers can be of no harm to you as they face no damage over time – until kept away from moisture. However, if you are not sure of the performance of the selected item, you can explore the product search engine to find reliable options.  This is where you can find the real-time performance of the selected products. Besides, you can also use the price comparison tool to compare products from different brands and make a wise choice.

Question & Answer

What grade of sandpaper do I need?

For heavy stripping or sanding, you will need coarse sandpaper. This paper measures about 40 to 60 grits for smoothing the surface. But if you are looking for sanding paper to remove the smallest imperfections from any surface, pick 80 to 120 grits. Here for the best finish and smoothest surface, you will need to use a super fine sandpaper that comes with 360 to 600 grits. For more details about suitable paper as per the job, you need to read the product description carefully.

What is sandpaper used for?

Sandpaper, also known as sanding paper, is produced in varying grit sizes. These special types of hard papers are used for removing material from the surface. Here the core intention is either to make the rubber surface smoother (like we do before wood finish or painting), to remove a layer of material (like old paint), or to make any surface rough for unique treatments (like we do as a preparation for glueing wood furniture).

How do you make sandpaper?

Heavy duty and professional style sandpapers are made with special techniques. But if heeded, you can also make them on your own. To do so, you need to start by cutting coarse or stiff-backed paper into about 8 to 10-inch pieces. Now place the paper flat on wood or particleboard with a wide paper on it. Apply liquid adhesive to the side of the paper cut facing up and evenly spread it with a putty knife. Now with the help of a wire-framed sifter that you can easily hold with one hand, scoop up coarse granules of sand from a bag or bin. Make sure you spread the sand across the paper, filling as much of the paper surface as you can. Let it dry naturally and remove the clamps to use the paper.

Where can I buy sandpaper online?

As discussed earlier, there are different types and grits of sanding papers available in the market. To know what possible options can match your individual need, you should explore a product search engine . For instance, at Shops.ae, you can find products from top brands like Dewalt, Makita, or Craftsman. At Shops.ae you can also find products from brands like Bosch or trusted best selling shops.

Here you can also use the price comparison tool to compare the price of different models or brands and make a well-versed choice matching both your budget and needs. Explore now to buy all types of tools and accessories in the DIY section.
