What Makes GRANAT NET Different from Conventional Sandpaper?
Traditional perforated sanding discs rely on a specific arrangement of holes to extract sanding dust. GRANAT NET uses an open mesh throughout the abrasive surface, allowing dust to pass through a much larger area. This is particularly advantageous when sanding materials such as plaster or filler, where fine particles can quickly accumulate and reduce the effectiveness of conventional abrasives.
By improving dust extraction, GRANAT NET helps maintain cutting efficiency and reduces the likelihood of premature abrasive clogging. The result is more consistent sanding, a longer effective abrasive life and a cleaner working process.
What Does P150 Grit Mean?
P150 identifies the abrasive grain size according to the recognised P-grade classification system. It represents a moderately fine sanding grade, offering a balance between controlled material removal and surface refinement.
For wall and ceiling preparation, P150 is useful for smoothing previously levelled or filled surfaces and reducing minor sanding marks. The ideal abrasive grade depends on the substrate, its initial condition and the finish required.
Where substantial material removal is needed, begin with an appropriate coarser grit before progressing to P150. For particularly demanding finishes, a finer abrasive may be required afterwards.
Why Is Full-Surface Dust Extraction Important?
Materials such as plaster, gypsum-based fillers and dispersion-based compounds often create large quantities of fine dust during sanding. Without adequate extraction, this residue can accumulate between abrasive grains, reducing their cutting action and contributing to clogging.
The open structure of GRANAT NET helps dust travel through the abrasive and into the connected extraction system. This supports improved sanding efficiency, longer abrasive service life and reduced airborne dust when used correctly with suitable extraction equipment.
Effective dust extraction also helps the operator maintain a clearer view of the working surface, making it easier to identify areas requiring additional attention.
Why Are Tear Resistance and Edge Stability Important?
During wall and ceiling sanding, an abrasive experiences continuous movement, pressure and contact with changing surface contours. A weak abrasive backing may tear prematurely or deteriorate around its edges.
GRANAT NET features a resistant mesh construction with high tear resistance and excellent edge stability. These properties help maintain the integrity of the abrasive during use, supporting reliable sanding performance and reducing unnecessary interruptions.

Pro Tips
- Use effective dust extraction: Connect your PLANEX sander to a suitable dust extractor and ensure the extraction system is functioning correctly before sanding. GRANAT NET delivers its greatest advantage when dust is removed efficiently.
- Let the abrasive do the work: Apply controlled, even pressure rather than forcing the sander against the surface. Excessive pressure can reduce sanding quality and accelerate abrasive wear.
- Choose the correct starting grit: P150 is best suited to controlled surface refinement. If significant high spots or imperfections remain, use a suitable coarser abrasive first.
- Keep the sanding pad clean: Remove accumulated residue from the pad before fitting a new disc to promote reliable attachment and even sanding performance.
- Inspect the abrasive regularly: Replace the disc when the abrasive becomes excessively worn, damaged or ineffective.
- Maintain continuous movement: Work across the surface with smooth, overlapping passes to reduce the risk of localised over-sanding or uneven surface preparation.
- Check the required finish: Inspect the sanded surface under suitable lighting to identify remaining imperfections before painting or applying a decorative finish.
How to Use
- Prepare the work area: Ensure the plaster, filler or other substrate is sufficiently cured and suitable for sanding. Remove loose debris and inspect the surface for protruding objects.
- Prepare the sanding machine: Switch off and disconnect the Festool PLANEX sander from its power supply before handling the abrasive or sanding pad.
- Inspect the sanding pad: Check that the 225mm pad is clean, undamaged and suitable for GRANAT NET abrasive mesh.
- Fit the abrasive disc: Centre the P150 mesh disc carefully on the sanding pad and press it into place. No alignment of extraction holes is necessary.
- Connect dust extraction: Attach a suitable dust extractor and check the hose, filter and extraction settings.
- Select appropriate machine settings: Adjust the sanding speed and extraction arrangement according to the machine instructions and the material being processed.
- Begin sanding: Hold the sanding head flat against the surface and use smooth, controlled movements with consistent pressure.
- Work systematically: Sand in overlapping passes to maintain an even finish and avoid excessive material removal from individual areas.
- Inspect the surface: Periodically stop the machine and check the substrate for remaining imperfections or sanding marks.
- Replace the abrasive when required: Disconnect the machine from its power source before removing a worn disc and fitting a replacement.
- Complete surface preparation: Remove remaining dust and inspect the surface before applying primer, paint or other finishing materials.
Safety
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: Use suitable eye protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection appropriate to the material being sanded and the level of dust exposure.
- Use effective dust extraction: Always connect a suitable dust extractor when sanding plaster, filler and other dust-producing materials.
- Check material hazards: Identify potentially hazardous coatings, paints or building materials before sanding. Do not disturb suspected asbestos-containing materials or lead-based coatings without appropriate specialist procedures.
- Inspect the abrasive: Do not use torn, damaged or incorrectly fitted sanding discs.
- Disconnect before changing discs: Switch off the machine and disconnect its power supply before fitting, removing or inspecting abrasives.
- Observe machine instructions: Follow the Festool PLANEX operating manual for correct sanding techniques, speed settings and safe operation.
- Avoid excessive pressure: Maintain controlled sanding pressure to help prevent surface damage, overheating and premature abrasive deterioration.
- Keep the work area ventilated: Maintain suitable ventilation and follow applicable workplace dust-control requirements.
