High-Gloss Polishing of Wooden Surfaces

Sanding walls and ceilings is one of the most important steps in surface finishing. It removes surface imperfections, old coatings, and joint ridges while creating an even surface for paint or decorative finishes to bond properly.

The technique involves working in overlapping passes to ensure uniform pressure and consistent results, especially on large vertical and overhead areas.

The Mirka® LEROS is designed for full‑size projects such as wide walls and ceilings. Its 180° flexible sanding head follows your movements and easily reaches edges and corners, reducing the need for repositioning.

At just 7.7 lbs., it reduces strain on your back and shoulders during long sessions.

The 5 mm random orbital movement delivers a smooth, swirl‑free finish, and when paired with a dust‑free system, it keeps the air cleaner and the surface visible throughout the process.

For confined spaces like bathrooms, closets, and corridors, the Mirka® LEROS‑S provides the same ergonomic benefits in a compact 35″ design.

Its two grip points offer full control, and its flexible 9″ sanding head allows even finishing in tighter areas without compromising speed or quality.

Use LEROS for wide areas and LEROS‑S for tight spaces to speed up wall and ceiling finishing, reduce physical strain, and achieve consistent, paint‑ready surfaces.

Surface finishing often extends beyond open walls. Trim, frames, staircases, shelves, and built‑in furniture require detailed sanding to eliminate imperfections and prepare for coatings.

This technique calls for precise control, often at different angles and in tight areas where larger sanders cannot reach.

The Mirka® DEROS delivers high sanding power in a compact, ergonomic body, providing the performance of pneumatic sanders without external air systems. Its patented brushless motor ensures long service life with low maintenance, while its integrated vibration sensor and Bluetooth® connectivity via the myMirka® app help monitor tool usage and minimize operator strain.

For corners, edges, and profiles, the Mirka® DEOS offers a low‑profile (4″ height) lightweight design that gives you closer control and better maneuverability. It is 50% more effective in stock removal than standard sanders, reducing sanding time while maintaining smooth, even results.

Use Mirka® DEROS and DEOS to handle detailed surfaces faster and with less effort, ensuring every corner and contour has a smooth, professional finish.

Efficient sanding techniques rely heavily on the right abrasive. Abranet® abrasives use an open mesh structure that allows sanding dust to pass through the entire abrasive surface into an attached dust extractor.

This technique prevents clogging, maintains consistent cutting performance, and extends abrasive life.

Using Abranet® in surface finishing projects helps maintain an even sanding pattern, keeps the workspace cleaner, and makes imperfections easier to detect during the process. This improves overall finish quality and saves time on cleanup.

Add Abranet® to your sanding workflow to extend abrasive life, reduce clogging, and achieve cleaner, higher‑quality finishes.

Even the best sanding techniques produce dust that can harm indoor air quality, increase cleanup time, and affect coating adhesion. Pairing sanders and Abranet® abrasives with a dust extractor ensures particles are removed at the source.

The technique is straightforward: connect your tool, use proper hose management to avoid obstruction, and let the extractor maintain airflow throughout sanding.

Mirka dust extractors feature HEPA filtration, automatic filter cleaning, and modular accessories for organizing tools and abrasives.

This creates a healthier workspace, reduces time spent on post‑sanding cleanup, and prevents dust from settling on freshly prepared surfaces.

Use dust extractors with your sanding tools to keep workspaces cleaner, protect worker health, and deliver higher‑quality finishes faster.
