Architects and specifiers recommend upstands for rooflights and lanterns from Upstands 2 Go for several key reasons:

1. “Thermal Performance” SIP panels are known for their excellent thermal insulation properties. This helps to maintain the building’s thermal envelope, reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency, which is crucial for meeting modern building standards and sustainability goals.

2. ‘Structural Integrity” SIP panels provide strong structural support, ensuring that the upstands can safely bear the weight of rooflights and lanterns. This structural reliability is essential for the longevity and safety of the installation.

3. “Energy Efficiency” SIP panels for upstands minimises thermal bridging and air leakage, leading to lower energy consumption for heating and cooling. This aligns with energy-efficient building designs and contributes to lower operational costs.

4. “Compliance with Part L Regulations” SIP panels help meet or exceed building regulations and standards for thermal performance, structural integrity, and air tightness. This ensures that projects are compliant with current regs, and ensures the building performs as expected.

5. “Moisture Control” Proper insulation and air tightness from SIP panels help prevent condensation and moisture-related issues, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage. This is critical for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and the durability of the building.

6. “Quick and Efficient Installation” Our upstands are prefabricated, which allows for quicker and more efficient installation on-site compared to traditional building methods. This can reduce construction time and labor costs, making the project more cost-effective.

7. “Versatility and Customization” Our upstands can be manufactured to specific sizes and shapes, providing architects and specifiers with the flexibility to design unique and customized upstands that fit the specific requirements of their projects.

8. “Sustainability” SIP panels are made from sustainable materials and contribute to green building practices. Their energy efficiency and durability help reduce the overall environmental impact of the building.

9. “Manufacturer’s Guarantee” The 25-year manufacturer guarantee offered by Upstands 2 Go provides architects and specifiers with confidence in the long-term performance and reliability of the product. This assurance is a significant factor when making recommendations for high-quality construction materials.

In summary, architects and specifiers recommend upstands from Upstands 2 Go because of their superior thermal performance, structural integrity, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, moisture control, installation efficiency, versatility, sustainability, and the strong manufacturer’s guarantee. These factors collectively contribute to high-performing, durable, and energy-efficient building designs.
