Polystyrene Disc - KS (white/grey) - Pack of 100
What is a KS Polystyrene Disc?
A KS Polystyrene Disc is a lightweight EPS cap designed to cover recessed façade fixings in External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems. When used together with a cutter (such as the Wkręt‑met WK‑FT), the disc is inserted into the recess to eliminate thermal bridging, improve façade flatness, and prepare the surface for basecoat and mesh.
According to the Renderstore listing, KS discs are available in white or grey EPS and supplied in packs of 100. They are widely used in EPS insulation systems to ensure a smooth, thermally efficient finish.
