The feel of your work tells a lot about your craftsmanship. That is why sanding is a critical part of many projects - such as kitchen renovations - where you work to create smooth finishes on marble, glass, stainless steel and other materials. At Construction Fasteners and Tools, we offer a convenient solution for stock removal, grinding and finishing - flap discs.
Before flap discs, contractors and do-it-yourself enthusiasts relied on grinding wheels, which offered some drawbacks, like a short operating life and poor cost-effectiveness. The introduction of flap discs in the 1970s provided a new way to grind, blend and finish materials with ease. Compared to grinding wheels, flap discs are lightweight, long-lasting and quiet.

How do flap discs work? They feature a series of overlapping pieces of abrasives, also called flaps, with a backing material of fiberglass, plastic or metal. Abrasive materials can include ceramic alumina, zirconia alumina or aluminum oxide, which are ideal for different applications. A zirconia alumina flap disc is suitable for carbon and mild steel, while a ceramic aluminum is perfect for stainless steel and alloys.
