Skirting boards, spindles, handrails and other shaped trim don’t sand well with something rigid, and that’s exactly where the Axus Decor Arystox ceramic sanding pad earns its keep. Its flexible foam backing bends around curves and profiles while keeping full contact with the surface, so you don’t dig in on one edge and skate over the next.

Underneath, it uses the same ceramic oxide grain as the rest of the Arystox range: a microcrystalline structure that keeps fracturing to expose fresh cutting edges, so it outlasts a standard aluminium oxide pad. A non-stick coating keeps dust and old paint from building up on the surface, and you can reach for it whether the job calls for wet sanding or dry.

Key Features of the Arystox Ceramic Sanding Pad

• Flexible foam backing bends around curves, mouldings and profiles.
• Double-sided, so you get two working faces from a single pad.
• Microcrystalline ceramic oxide grain keeps exposing sharp new edges as it wears.
• Anti-clog coating keeps performance up over a full sanding session.
• Grain aligned so its sharpest edges face outward, so every stroke starts cutting straight away.

Where to Use This Ceramic Sanding Pad

• Skirting boards, picture rails, spindles and handrails.
• Panelled doors, pipes, radiators and other shaped trim.
• Flat walls, panels and filled areas, when a bit of flex helps in your hand.
• Bare wood, filler and old paintwork ahead of a fresh coat.

How to Apply

1. Start with whichever grit suits the surface, and step up in order (60, 80, 120, 180) as the finish improves.
2. On flat areas, keep the whole pad pressed flat against the surface for even coverage.
3. On profiles and mouldings, let the pad flex naturally around the shape rather than forcing it flat.
4. Once one face wears down, flip the pad over to its second side.
5. Before you pick up a brush or roller, clear off the dust. A tack cloth makes light work of it.

Sizes Available

You’ll find the Arystox pad in twin packs of a single grit: 60 Extra-Coarse, 80 Coarse, 120 Medium or 180 Fine. It also comes in a 10-pack that mixes all four together, useful when a job runs through several stages of prep.

Safety & Restrictions

• Fit a dust mask and eye protection before dry sanding.
• Keep the room aired while you work, and wash up afterwards.
• Store away from strong heat or sunlight, which can degrade the foam over time.
• Keep well away from children.

Whether you’re working a flat wall or easing round a spindle, the Arystox ceramic sanding pad is built to flex with the job and keep on cutting.
