Why is Norton Red Heat better for sanding off old floor coatings?
Sanding old coatings can be labor-intensive and require a lot of material, especially if the coatings gum up the paper quickly. Heat and friction cause the old coatings to soften and then stick to the paper. Norton Red Heat can be effective for removing these old coatings since the ceramic grain is super sharp and cuts cooler; thus, it doesn’t heat up the finish as much and therefore tends to minimize loading.

What belt grit order should I use for sanding pre-finished floors?
Norton makes abrasives designed specifically for sanding pre-finished floors that do not require any special sanding sequence. BlazePlus is the ideal choice for this application. Start with 36- or 40-grit like you would on a normal finish. Start your first cut at a slight angle to remove the finish, flatten the floor and remove most of the grooves. Then finish with your subsequent grits parallel to the direction of the floor. BlazeX edger discs are the ideal choice for sanding the edges of the floor.
