Upstand Board - Thermal Insulation
Verified by manufacturer 5 months ago
Zero ODP insulated upstand board.
Application
AIM Insulated Upstand Boards are used to provide thermal insulation to upstands and parapet walls in flat roof constructions, typically inverted roof systems.
The primary function is to insulate the parapet upstand and prevent cold bridging to the internal envelope of the building.
AIM Upstand Boards are designed to provide a tough,
weather and impact resistant finish which can be decorated as required.
A limited-combustibility A2-s1,d0 stone wool option is
available for buildings over 11m high.
Description
AIM Insulated Upstand Boards are manufactured from
a variety of insulation materials including the leading
brands of extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam or Stone
Wool insulation, factory bonded to an external grade
high impact fibre cement facing board.
Features and benefits:
- A range of insulation substrates to meet the requirements of the project.
- A range of thermal performances to suit the requirements of the project.
- Impact, weather resistant, facing board.
- A Euroclass A2-s1,d0 stone wool based option is available.
- Pre-decorated and through coloured facing boards are available.
- Standard sizes as well as custom dimension product available.
- 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 11 m high.
- Pre-cut boards available to suit specific parapet heights.
Finish:
Where required the facing board may be painted without any special priming using an alkali resistant paint or emulsion. Two coats of paint will usually give a satisfactory finish. Suitable paints are: Acrylics, chlorinated rubber, epoxy, PVA, PVC, polyurethane and silicate.
The standard facing board is not intended to provide a final architectural/aesthetic finish as the cementitious facing may vary in colour from batch to batch.
Pre-finished and through coloured facing boards are
available upon request.
