What Makes GRANAT NET Different from Conventional Sandpaper?
Conventional perforated sanding discs generally extract dust through a predetermined arrangement of holes. GRANAT NET uses an open abrasive mesh that allows dust to pass through the sanding surface across a much larger area.
This construction is especially beneficial when working with plaster and dispersion-based fillers, where extremely fine particles can accumulate quickly and interfere with the abrasive&s cutting action.
By allowing dust to be extracted more efficiently, GRANAT NET helps reduce clogging, maintain consistent sanding performance and extend abrasive service life. Its durable mesh structure also provides excellent resistance to tearing and helps maintain stable edges throughout use.
What Does P240 Grit Mean?
P240 identifies a fine abrasive grade according to the recognised P-grade abrasive classification system. It uses finer abrasive particles than P150 or P180, giving a gentler, more controlled sanding action.
This makes P240 particularly suitable for the later stages of surface preparation, where the objective is to refine the substrate, reduce fine sanding marks and achieve a smoother surface rather than remove substantial amounts of material.
When working on plaster or filled surfaces, P240 is a useful finishing grade after the substrate has already been levelled with an appropriate coarser abrasive.
Choosing Between P150, P180 and P240
P150: A moderately fine grade suitable for refining surfaces that still require some controlled material removal.
P180: A finer grade that can serve as an intermediate step between general surface smoothing and fine finishing.
P240: A fine grade intended for more delicate surface refinement and reducing sanding marks before subsequent finishing operations.
The ideal grit sequence depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface and the finish required. Not every project requires every intermediate grit.
Why Is Full-Surface Dust Extraction Important?
Sanding plaster, fillers and drywall compounds can produce large quantities of fine dust. If this material remains between the abrasive grains, it can interfere with cutting performance, accelerate clogging and reduce the quality of the sanding operation.
GRANAT NET allows dust to pass through its open-mesh surface into the extraction system. This helps keep the abrasive working efficiently, improves visibility of the prepared surface and supports cleaner working conditions.
Effective extraction is particularly valuable when using fine abrasive grades such as P240 because excessive accumulation of fine sanding residue can reduce the consistency of the finishing process.
Why Are Tear Resistance and Edge Stability Important?
During sanding, abrasive discs experience continuous movement, pressure and contact with varying surface contours. Weak abrasive backings may tear prematurely, while unstable edges can contribute to unwanted sanding marks.
GRANAT NET features a resistant mesh construction offering high tear resistance and excellent edge stability. These characteristics help the abrasive maintain its shape and integrity, supporting dependable sanding and reducing unnecessary rework.

Pro Tips
- Use P240 for fine finishing: This grit is particularly effective after the surface has already been levelled. Avoid using it as the starting grit on heavily uneven plaster or thick filler deposits.
- Progress through appropriate grits: Begin with a coarser abrasive when substantial material removal is required, then work towards finer grades such as P180 and P240.
- Maintain effective dust extraction: Always connect a suitable dust extractor and check that the extraction path is clear. GRANAT NET performs best when dust is removed efficiently.
- Use light, even pressure: Fine abrasive grades work most effectively with controlled pressure. Forcing the sanding head against the surface can cause uneven finishing and unnecessary abrasive wear.
- Keep the sanding head moving: Use smooth, overlapping passes to help maintain a consistent surface finish and avoid localised over-sanding.
- Inspect surfaces under suitable lighting: Raking light can help reveal remaining imperfections, scratches and uneven areas before painting.
- Replace worn discs promptly: Fine finishing quality depends on the condition of the abrasive. Replace the mesh when it becomes torn, damaged or noticeably less effective.
- Check the finished surface: Remove remaining dust and inspect the substrate before applying primer or paint. Follow the coating manufacturer&s surface preparation requirements.
How to Use
- Inspect the substrate: Ensure the plaster, filler or other suitable material is properly cured, dry and ready for sanding.
- Prepare the sanding machine: Switch off and disconnect the Festool PLANEX sander from its power supply before handling the sanding pad or abrasive.
- Check the sanding pad: Inspect the 225mm sanding pad for damage or accumulated debris and ensure it is suitable for GRANAT NET abrasive mesh.
- Fit the P240 abrasive: Carefully centre the mesh disc on the sanding pad and press it into place using the compatible StickFix attachment system.
- Connect dust extraction: Attach an appropriate Festool-compatible dust extraction system and verify that the hose and filters are correctly installed.
- Select suitable operating settings: Choose the sanding speed and extraction settings according to the machine instructions and the material being processed.
- Begin fine sanding: Place the sanding head evenly against the prepared surface and move it in smooth, controlled passes.
- Maintain consistent coverage: Overlap sanding passes slightly to avoid missed areas and produce an even surface finish.
- Avoid excessive pressure: Allow the fine P240 abrasive to remove minor imperfections gradually without unnecessary force.
- Inspect progress: Periodically stop the machine and check the surface for remaining marks or irregularities.
- Replace the abrasive if necessary: Disconnect the machine from its power supply before removing a worn disc and fitting a replacement.
- Complete surface preparation: Remove residual dust and inspect the surface before applying primer, paint or another compatible finishing product.
Safety
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: Use suitable eye protection, hearing protection and respiratory protection appropriate to the material being sanded.
- Use effective dust extraction: Always connect a suitable dust extractor when sanding plaster, filler and other materials that release fine airborne particles.
- Identify potentially hazardous materials: Before sanding existing coatings or building materials, assess the possibility of hazardous dust, including lead-containing paint or asbestos-containing materials.
- Inspect abrasives before use: Never operate the sander with a torn, damaged or incorrectly fitted abrasive mesh disc.
- Disconnect before changing abrasives: Switch off the machine and disconnect its power supply before fitting, removing or inspecting sanding discs.
- Follow manufacturer instructions: Observe the safety precautions and operating recommendations supplied with the Festool PLANEX sanding machine.
- Maintain controlled sanding pressure: Avoid excessive force that could cause surface damage or premature abrasive wear.
- Ensure suitable ventilation: Maintain adequate ventilation and follow applicable workplace dust-control procedures.
