Get reliable surface prep with the Mirka Hiomant sanding roll 115mm x 5m – a trade-trusted abrasive paper roll you can cut to the length you need for clean, controlled sanding.

Choose the right grit for your job, whether you’re shaping filler, keying paint, or refining timber before finishing. Ideal for decorators and DIYers who want consistent prep with less waste.

Key benefits

• 115mm x 5m roll format – cut-to-size for quick prep and less waste
• Multiple grit options to suit heavy prep through to finer finishing
• Suitable for common decorating substrates like paint, plaster/putty and wood
• Trade-friendly abrasive for controlled hand sanding and detail work
• Consistent prep for better adhesion and a smoother final finish

Best for

• Trade decorators: prepping walls/woodwork, sanding filler repairs, keying between coats (grit dependent)
• DIY painters: removing nibs, smoothing patches, prepping doors/skirting before painting
• Work areas: edges, profiles, corners, trims and flat surfaces where cut-to-length paper helps

Why it matters

Good prep is what makes paintwork last. A quality abrasive paper roll helps you key surfaces evenly, feather repairs, and reduce visible scratches under finishes (when you choose the right grit for the stage you’re at).

Tip: Use coarser grits to shape filler and level edges, then step down to finer grits to refine the surface before priming or topcoating.

FAQs

Which grit should I choose for paint preparation?

It depends on the condition of the surface. Use a coarser grit to key tough coatings or level repairs, then move to a finer grit to refine before priming/topcoating. [VERIFY] Add your preferred grit recommendations by task if you want them stated.

Is this sanding roll suitable for walls and ceilings?

Yes – it’s suitable for common decorating prep including paint sanding and plaster/putty repairs. Use an appropriate grit and avoid over-sanding softer areas.

Can I use it on filler and putty repairs?

Yes. For repairs, start with a grit that shapes and levels the area, then step down to a finer grit to blend edges smoothly before painting.

Is it suitable for woodwork like doors, skirting and architrave?

Yes – it’s suitable for hardwood and soft/resinous wood. Choose the grit based on whether you’re stripping imperfections or refining before finishing.

What size is the roll?

The roll is 115mm wide and 5m long.

Is this a paper-backed abrasive?

Yes. Mirka lists Hiomant with E-paper/D-paper backing.

How do I get a smoother finish and avoid visible scratches?

Use light pressure, keep the paper moving, and step down through grits rather than jumping straight from coarse to fine. Remove dust between steps.

Should I use a sanding block?

For flatter, more even results, wrapping the paper around a sanding block is usually better than hand-only sanding—especially on walls and woodwork.

What else do I need for the job?

Common add-ons include masking and surface protection, a sanding block, dust extraction/clean-up tools, and PPE suitable for sanding dust.
