Starcke Open Grit Silicon Carbide Belts – 12 & 16 Grit
When the floor is nasty enough that nothing else will cut it.
Sometimes the job is so loaded with adhesive, paint, shellac, or flat-out mystery gunk that even the fanciest ceramic belt on the market will glaze over and cake up. When that happens, open-coat silicon carbide becomes the only real option. The wide spacing between the sharp rock-like grains helps shed debris, resist clogging, and keep cutting when premium belts instantly plug.
These Starcke open-grit belts are built for heavy removals, rough leveling, and those “rip it and start over” floors contractors run into every week. Tough cloth backing + aggressive open-coat grain = dependable bite at the lowest cost per floor.
