The right abrasive can make a major difference in the quality, efficiency, and cleanliness of a hardwood flooring job. Whether you are sanding raw wood, blending repairs, preparing primer, or working through finishing steps, choosing the correct abrasive helps you get a better result with fewer headaches.
City Floor Supply carries several Mirka abrasives designed with performance, cut quality, and dust extraction in mind. Below, we are breaking down the Mirka abrasive options available through City Floor Supply and how they can be used from a hardwood floor contractor’s perspective.
Mirka Abranet Ace Abrasives
Thanks to its optimized net construction and ceramic grains, Abranet Ace delivers superior cut and performance on hardwoods such as oak and beech. This makes it a useful option when you need aggressive, consistent sanding power without sacrificing control.
The net construction also helps with dust extraction. Instead of relying on a traditional hole pattern, the open net design allows dust to move through the abrasive more efficiently. For contractors, that can mean a cleaner sanding process, better visibility while working, and less loading on the abrasive.
Abranet Ace is also a strong option for primer sanding. If you are preparing a floor between coating steps or working on a project that requires careful surface prep, Abranet Ace can help produce a clean, even surface for the next application.
Best Uses for Hardwood Floor Contractors
Abranet Ace is a good choice for:
- Sanding hardwoods like oak, beech, ash, birch, mahogany, and teak
- Sanding soft or resinous woods such as pine
- Surface conditioning and repair work
- Primer sanding
- Paint, lacquer, sealer, or coating removal when relevant to a flooring/refinishing project
- Sanding MDF, HDF, or chipboard in applicable flooring or millwork situations
City Floor Supply carries Abranet Ace in several sizes, including 5″, 6″, and 7″ discs for compatible orbital/random orbital sanders. We also carry Abranet Ace in a 3″ x 4″ grip sheet, which is ideal for compatible rectangular detail sanders, hand sanding blocks, and smaller sanding tools used for edges, corners, spot repairs, and tight areas.
For contractors who need an abrasive that can handle harder woods and more demanding sanding conditions, Abranet Ace is a versatile option to keep on hand.
Mirka Abranet Ace HD Abrasives
Mirka Abranet Ace HD is a durable, heavy-duty abrasive designed for tougher sanding applications. Like the standard Abranet Ace, it features ceramic grains, but the HD version is built with a stronger net structure and tougher backing to better resist wear and tear.
For hardwood floor contractors, this makes Abranet Ace HD a strong option when you need an abrasive that can stand up to more demanding work. It is well suited for sanding hardwood, removing old finishes, and tackling jobs where a standard abrasive may wear down too quickly.
The reinforced construction helps increase the lifetime of the abrasive while keeping the sanding process efficient. That can be especially helpful on tougher refinishing projects where you are cutting through lacquer, removing paint or coatings, or working on hard wood species that require more aggressive sanding power.
Best Uses for Hardwood Floor Contractors
Abranet Ace HD is a good choice for:
- Heavy-duty sanding applications
- Sanding hardwood
- Removing old paint or coatings
- Sanding lacquered surfaces
- Tough refinishing or repair work
- Jobs where durability and longer abrasive life are important
For contractors who need a tougher abrasive for demanding sanding conditions, Abranet Ace HD offers the durability, cutting power, and longer life needed to keep the job moving efficiently.
Mirka Ultimax Ligno Multifit Abrasives
Mirka Ultimax Ligno is an abrasive designed specifically for wood sanding. For hardwood floor 
The Multifit format makes Ultimax Ligno a good fit for compatible random orbital sanders and other finishing/detail sanding applications. It is designed for both sanding and finishing, giving contractors a flexible abrasive option when working through different stages of the floor prep process.
One of the major benefits of Ultimax Ligno is its focus on dust extraction. Efficient dust removal helps reduce clogging, keeps the abrasive cutting properly, and supports a cleaner work environment. For contractors, that can contribute to a more consistent scratch pattern and a better surface before finishing.
City Floor Supply carries Ultimax Ligno in multiple sizes to fit different sanding setups, including 5″ and 6″ discs for compatible orbital/random orbital sanders. We also carry Ultimax Ligno in a 3″ x 4″ sheet, which is ideal for compatible rectangular detail sanders, hand sanding blocks, and smaller sanding tools used for edges, corners, spot repairs, and other tight areas where a larger disc sander is not practical.
Ultimax Ligno is suitable for a range of wood materials commonly encountered in flooring work, including oak, beech, birch, ash, pine, mahogany, teak, veneer, hardwood, and soft/resinous wood.
Best Uses for Hardwood Floor Contractors
Ultimax Ligno is a good option for:
