Virginia Abrasives Mesh Screen Sheets for Gym Floor Recoating and Between-Coat Buffing
Virginia Abrasives Mesh Screen Abrasive Sheets are coated screen mesh abrasives used for screening hardwood floors, including gym floors and sport courts, before applying another coat of finish. Screening is commonly done with a buffer or compatible floor machine to smooth the surface and create the abrasion needed for polyurethane or sport floor finish adhesion. Virginia Abrasives notes that screening is often called buffing and is used between layers of floor coating for a smoother finished result.
These mesh screen sheets are designed for intermediate and finish sanding, between-coat buffing, and recoat prep on wood and hardwood surfaces. They are a strong fit for gym floor contractors handling annual recoats, summer maintenance schedules, and finish-system prep in schools, fieldhouses, recreation centers, and sports facilities.
Use a mesh screen driving pad between the machine and screen for best results. Virginia Abrasives specifically recommends using a screen driving pad between the buffer and the screen.
Choose 14″ x 20″ or 14″ x 28″ based on your machine and job requirements. Always confirm your current abrasive size or check the sander owner’s manual before ordering.
