Why Choose Dustless Sanding for Drywall Repairs?
If you're planning to paint your home or office in Calgary, drywall damage is almost inevitable. Whether it's minor dents, cracks, or major repairs, the quality of your paint job depends on how well the drywall is prepped. Traditional sanding methods create clouds of dust that settle on furniture, floors, and even in your air vents. We use a dustless sanding system that eliminates airborne dust, creating a cleaner and healthier environment.
✅ No airborne dust – Keeps your home or office spotless
✅ Healthier indoor air quality – Reduces exposure to hazardous drywall dust
✅ Smoother paint finishes – No dust settling into fresh paint
✅ Faster cleanup – No need for extensive post-repair cleaning
The Hidden Dangers of Traditional Drywall Sanding
Drywall dust contains harmful substances such as:
- Crystalline silica – Linked to lung diseases and cancer
Mica & talc – Can cause eye, throat, and lung irritation
Polyvinyl acetate & perlite – Known respiratory irritants
According to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):
When silica is present, workers may also face an increased risk of silicosis and lung cancer.
- Traditional sanding methods spread fine dust throughout your space
- Inhalation of drywall dust can lead to long-term respiratory irritants
- Extensive cleanup required after sanding
