Sanding Sheets

Sanding Sheets

Sanding sheets are one of the most versatile abrasives in any workshop or industrial environment — suited to hand sanding, machine sanding and floor sanding across metal, timber, paint and composite surfaces. AIMS Industrial stocks sanding sheets from Pferd, Klingspor and Norton across a broad range of grits and substrate types.

Types of Sanding Sheets

• Aluminium Oxide — the workhorse abrasive for metal and timber. Available in A, B and C paper weights from Klingspor (PS33B, PS33C) and as Norton Metalite cloth sheets for more demanding applications.
• Silicon Carbide — for wet or dry sanding of non-ferrous metals, automotive finishes, composites and stone. Klingspor PS11A and Norton Black Ice are popular choices.
• Stearate-coated — reduces loading when sanding softwoods, finishes and primers, extending sheet life significantly.

Pferd, Klingspor and Norton

Pferd sanding sheets include wet and dry options in standard and 5-pack formats, plus floor sanding sheets to suit Clarke and Silverline drum sanders. Klingspor B-paper and C-paper sheets are trusted in automotive and metalworking environments. Norton's No-Fil Adalox and Black Ice waterproof sheets deliver consistent performance for wet sanding and fine finishing work.

Choosing the Right Grit

For heavy stock removal, start with 40–80 grit. Intermediate sanding typically uses 120–180 grit. Fine finishing calls for 240–400 grit, while polishing and wet sanding use 600 grit and above.
