Sanders

REFINA offers a specialist range of high-performance sanders designed to tackle everything from surface prep and paint removal to fine finishing. Here's a breakdown of the main types we stock, including professional EIBENSTOCK power tools, and what they're used for:

Floor Sanders

Heavy-duty floor sanders are built to strip back timber or concrete flooring, remove old coatings, and prepare large floor surfaces for refinishing.

Drywall Sanders

Ideal for smoothing plasterboard joints and preparing freshly plastered walls. These sanders provide a clean, consistent finish with minimal surface damage.

Insulation Board Sanders

Specially designed for lightweight applications, these sanders shape and smooth insulation boards without crumbling or gouging the surface.

Drum Wood Sanders

Powerful sanders designed for wood, plastic and metal surfaces that would otherwise require hand sanding. They are perfect for heavy material removal, including the cleaning and removal of rust, paints and coatings.

Long Reach Sanders

Essential for ceilings, high walls, and hard-to-reach areas. These sanders reduce the need for ladders or scaffolding, making overhead work safer and more efficient.

Yes. REFINA's drywall sanders are well-suited for ceilings and plastered walls. For extended areas and elevated work, we recommend the EIBENSTOCK ELS 225.1 long-reach sander, which provides better access and ergonomic comfort during prolonged use.

Dust control is crucial when working indoors. All REFINA and EIBENSTOCK sanders are equipped with dust extraction ports, which can be paired with a dust extraction vacuum to reduce airborne particles and maintain a safer, cleaner environment. This is especially important when sanding plaster or drywall, where fine dust is produced.

Choosing the best sander depends on your surface type, the scale of the job, and your desired finish.

Here are a few tips:

• For walls and ceilings, we recommend a drywall or long-reach sander.
• For wood, plastic and metal surfaces, a drum sander is ideal.
• For insulation boards, choose a dedicated insulation board sander to avoid surface damage.
