Sandblasting is not applicable in industries only. There are various areas at home where sandblasting can also be made useful.
Below are some applications of sandblasting at home
-
To remove paints and rust
One of the uses of sandblasting is to rid paint or rusts from surfaces. If your walls have old paints on them you can utilize a mild sandblasting. This will get rid of the old paints without damaging the wall itself. You can also get rid of stubborn rusts from your steel appliances.

Cleaning of concrete surfaces
If your pavements, driveways or patios are made of concrete, you can easily clean them by sandblasting. This will save you from wasting water, as well as extend their life expectancy.

Surface preparation
Do you need to paint your walls? Sandblasting is one of the most effective ways of surface preparation before painting or coating your intended surface. Even if you’re protecting your wood surfaces such as wooden cabinets and doors from warping, you can sandblast them before applying a sealant on them.
