What is sandblasting
Sandblasting, also known as grit blasting or sand spraying, is a process in which a powerful stream of abrasive particles, such as grains of sand or other abrasive materials, is sprayed at high speed onto a surface. This process is used to clean, remove or repair different types of surfaces.
The purpose of sandblasting can vary, from removing paint, rust, corrosion, old coatings or other unwanted layers to roughening a surface for better adhesion of new coatings or paint. It is an effective method to treat materials such as wood, metal, stone, concrete and more.
The process of sandblasting requires specialised equipment, including a compressor to provide the compressed air needed to accelerate the abrasive particles, and a blast vessel in which the abrasive material is stored and mixed with compressed air before being blown through a nozzle.
Sandblasting offers an efficient and versatile solution for cleaning, repairing and restoring various surfaces.
Pros and cons
Sandblasting is an effective method for reviving old furniture, ceilings or cabinets. Several considerations such as the choice of abrasive, pressure, equipment needed and experience must however be taken into account.
