America’s Trusted Source
for 3M Floor Sanding
Paper and Finishing Tools
Rustic Floor Supply in Boise offers 3M sandpaper for hardwood flooring. 3M sandpaper is a highly regarded option for floor sanding, due in part to the minerals used in its construction. Its predictability in terms of scratch patterns sets it apart from other brands. One particular type of 3M sandpaper, called Regalite, is made with a blend of aluminum and ceramic, making it effective at removing old finishes. Regalite is a popular option among Boise contractors. Regalite sandpaper is also known for its durability, with belts and edger discs lasting longer than those offered by competitors.
The Regalite sandpaper from 3M is known for its long lifespan, even when used on belts. Its edger discs are also highly effective at removing coatings and do not need to be changed out frequently. This sandpaper works well on a variety of floor finishes and wood types. In addition, it is easy to identify as it is typically purple in color.

A Legacy That Changed the Way We Sand
It all started in 1905 with a small company in Duluth, Minnesota. No one knew back then that 3M would soon reshape the future of sanding. When Tree-M-Ite sandpaper hit the market during World War I, it wasn’t just another product. It became a game-changer. The thick cloth backing gave craftsmen the control and durability they had been waiting for. Even now, that same backing lives on in the tools professionals trust.
Rustic Wood Floor Supply is proud to be part of that legacy. When we deliver 3M abrasives, we’re not just selling sandpaper. We’re handing you a piece of history that still gets the job done.
