Upstand Top Trim Installation (If Specified)
Begin by cutting the upstand top trim to the lengths required for all sides of the upstand. The corner joints can either be mitred (45°)
or straight cut with notches (see image below). If the material requires bending to suit the pitch of the upstand, this can be achieved
by screwing the section to the upstand as below and gently tapping the horizontal part using a clean rubber mallet.

Upstand top trim placement
The upstand top trim should be cut to size along its length to leave a dimension of 60 mm between the edge of the trim and outside
of the upstand. This dimension ensures that the visible internal upstand top is covered and that there is no contact between the
upstand top trim and the exterior product framework. The upstand top trim is supplied with 5 grooves along the underside. These
grooves can be used to help guide a saw or similar when trimming the cover to size. Failure to follow this step exactly may result in
a thermal bridge.

Upstand top trim measurements
After all upstand top trim lengths have been cut to size and adjusted to fit, they can be fixed into place with the supplied fixings. Drill
holes at approximately 500 mm centres using the groove to aid with positioning of the drill bit. The upstand top trim has been
designed to accept standard 12 mm plasterboard to ensure a flush finish. Refer to the sales drawings for more information.
