STYRO Concept for Leveling Insulation
For levelling insulation
Mirka introduces a new, clean solution for polystyrene panel installation,
called the STYRO Concept. It is Mirka’s way of bringing dust-free wall sanding
know-how to leveling insulation panels.
By combining the ergonomic LEROS-S 950CV wall sander with the new STYRO
backing pad, interface and Iridium STYRO abrasive disc – the sanding becomes
easy, clean and fast.

Insulation panel seams leveling
With the help of Mirka’s new STYRO Concept, fitting polystyrene insulation could not be cleaner. When leveling panel seams to achieve a uniform structure, debris is created from sanding insulation foam. To solve this, Mirka’s ergonomic and easy to use LEROS-S wall sanders are fitted with a STYRO backing pad, interface and Iridium STYRO abrasives to make sanding work easy, clean and fast. The system is suitable for sanding underground and external insulation panels alike.
Use grit 80 and 60 for light and medium dense polystyrene insulation such as
EPS and grit 40 for very dense material such as e.g. XPS.
Mirka’s LEROS-S wall sander is designed to reduce strain on the operator,
helping you to make quick work of the job at hand. Thanks to efficient
abrasives and powerful dust extraction, you can minimize both the time needed
for the sanding process and the amount of debris from sanding foam. The
combination of ergonomic sander design and dust-free sanding reduces
discomfort as well as the risk of occupational disease, especially in tackling
large areas such as wall insulation.

LEROS-S wall sander.| For Dust-free sanding connect your LEROS-S wall sander
to the Mirka Dust extractor, with a hose.
Start sanding the panel seams! The LEROS-S is very lightweight, only 3,2 kg
and the flexible sanding head makes it easy to reach everywhere.| Use a
straight wood plank or larger spirit-level tool to check that the wall is
straight, to see were sanding is needed.
Continue sanding the polystyrene insulation panel seams until all wall panels
form a uniform structure.| The combination of ergonomic sander design and
dust-free sanding reduces discomfort as well as the risk of occupational
disease, especially in tackling large areas such as wall insulation.
