Builders Upstand Installation: How to Measure
Please refer to the diagram below for a guide on how to measure the dimensions of the external builders upstand.
Acceptable margin:
Fixed / unvented domes = dome size +20/-20mm Opening / vented domes = dome size +40/-20mm
The height of the builders upstand should be 150mm and the wide 75mm, as seen in red on the diagram above. This means that the item you are purchasing from our menu should match the dimensions of your external timber.
For example, the purchased item should be 900 x 900mm and your external timber should measure 900 x 900mm. The external timber size can be seen on the diagram above in red marked “measure here”.
Domes With PVC Kerb: How to Measure
Please refer to the diagram below to see how to measure the internal opening of the roof.
Acceptable margin:
Dome size +20/-30mm
You can pick the dimensions you need for your timber size from our order menu. The timber size (which is the red measurement on the above diagram) is the same as your structural opening size and when buying with a 150mm/300mm upstand should match.
For example, if you purchase 900 x 900mm, your structural opening dimensions should also be 900 x 900m.
