Screens & Pads

An Abrasive screen is a mesh with abrasive particles adhered to it and due to the nature of a mesh this means that there are fewer particles per square meter and therefore the screen is less abrasive than sandpaper of the same grit. Underneath the screen a pad can be used to further reduce the abrasive nature. This is often required for floor screening because only a fraction of the existing finish should be removed for a new coat of polyurethane to bond.
