The Refina medium density white foam sponge float (280mm x 140mm x 40mm) is a precision tool engineered for professional plasterers and decorators working with jointing compounds and renders. It offers an excellent balance between surface texture and control, making it ideal for smoothing and finishing large areas efficiently; however, users should note that the medium density foam is optimized for specific renders and may not be suitable for heavy-duty abrasive tasks or deep aggregate leveling.

It is primarily used for smoothing and finishing jointing compounds and renders to achieve a uniform texture.
Yes, it is suitable for finishing sand and cement renders, provided the aggregate size is not overly coarse.
Rinse it thoroughly with clean water immediately after use. Do not use harsh solvents or chemical cleaners.
The handle is integrated into the design for structural integrity and is not intended to be removed or replaced.
The foam face measures 280mm in length, 140mm in width, and 40mm in depth.
Ensure the sponge is sufficiently saturated with water and that you are using a light, circular motion rather than pressing too hard.
The foam has likely been used against sharp aggregates or too aggressively; ensure the surface being worked is smooth and use less downward pressure.
This tool requires no complex assembly; it is ready for use immediately upon removal from the packaging. It is fully compatible with most standard jointing compounds and standard render mixes. To ensure the longevity of the sponge, it is crucial to wash the float thoroughly after every use. Never allow compounds to dry on the foam surface, as this can cause the pores to clog and the foam to harden. Once cleaned, store the tool in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from becoming brittle or deteriorating over time.
