AIM Upstand Boards - 1200mm x 600mm

• Low thermal conductivity helps provide a
thermal break at the base of upstands and
perimeter walls of a flat roof.
• Provides a robust substrate for decoration as
required.
• Compatible with most flat roof waterproofing
systems.
• Highly weather resistant and suitable for long
term weather exposure.
• Wide range of sizes available to give flexibility
of installation.
• Easy to install
• Euroclass A2-s1,d0 option available for
buildings over 11m high.
• Pre-cut boards available to suit specific
parapet heights.

The boards are made from fire-resistant materials, providing an added layer of fire protection to upstands and parapet walls. This contributes to the overall fire safety of the building, particularly in areas prone to fire spread.Upstand Boards and Parapet Walls in Flat Roof Constructions:

Thermal Insulation

1. Effective Insulation: AIM Upstand Boards provide excellent thermal insulation for upstands and parapet walls, reducing heat loss and contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building. This is crucial in flat roof constructions, especially in inverted roof systems where insulation is exposed to external conditions.
2. Energy Efficiency: By minimizing thermal bridging at upstands and parapet walls, these boards help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, which can lead to reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling.

Moisture Resistance

1. Waterproof Properties: These boards are designed to be highly resistant to moisture, which is essential for protecting the structural integrity of flat roof constructions. They prevent water ingress, thereby safeguarding the building from potential water damage.
2. Durability: AIM Upstand Boards are durable and capable of withstanding the harsh conditions typically associated with flat roof environments, including exposure to rain, snow, and UV radiation.

Fire Resistance

1. Enhanced Fire Safety: The boards are made from fire-resistant materials, providing an added layer of fire protection to upstands and parapet walls. This contributes to the overall fire safety of the building, particularly in areas prone to fire spread.

Easy Installation

1. Ease of Handling: AIM Upstand Boards are lightweight and easy to handle, making them straightforward to install in various configurations. This can speed up the construction process and reduce labour costs.
2. Adaptability: These boards can be easily cut and shaped to fit different architectural designs and construction needs, offering flexibility in application for various flat roof configurations.

Compatibility with Inverted Roof Systems

1. Suitability for Inverted Roofs: Specifically designed for inverted roof systems, AIM Upstand Boards complement the typical design where the insulation layer is above the waterproof membrane. Their properties ensure that the insulation layer remains effective even when exposed to external conditions.
2. Protection of Waterproof Membrane: By providing a protective layer, these boards help safeguard the underlying waterproof membrane from mechanical damage and UV exposure, extending its lifespan and maintaining its effectiveness.

What are AIM Upstand Boards?

AIM Upstand Boards are insulation products used to provide thermal insulation and fire protection at the junction between the roof and the wall. They help improve the thermal performance of buildings and ensure fire safety compliance.

How do you install AIM Upstand Boards?

Installation involves placing the upstand boards at the junction between the roof and wall, ensuring a snug fit. The boards should be securely fixed and sealed as per the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure optimal thermal and fire resistance.

• Where can AIM Upstand Boards be used? - AIM Upstand Boards are suitable for use in both new construction and retrofit projects. They are commonly used in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings to provide insulation and fire protection at critical junctions.

How do AIM Upstand Boards enhance fire safety?

AIM Upstand Boards have fire-resistant properties that help prevent the spread of fire at the roof-wall junction. They maintain the integrity of fire-rated compartments, providing critical protection for occupants and properties.
