Limited construction depth makes drainage and ventilation harder to resolve. Establish the complete build-up first, including support, required clearances and inspection, before choosing a board solely because it is thin.

- Build-up height
- Clearance requirements
- Water escape
Project brief #
Limited construction depth makes drainage and ventilation harder to resolve. Establish the complete build-up first, including support, required clearances and inspection, before choosing a board solely because it is thin.
Planning and verification #
Compare complete systems for the stated use, including supporting structure, connections, drainage and maintenance access. Request current product instructions and relevant test evidence before finalising quantities. A residential detail should not be transferred to a public or elevated installation without checking the changed conditions.
Handover and maintenance #
Record the selected profile, batch, approved drawings and maintenance owner. Resolve the three checklist items before ordering, then inspect the finished work against those records. Keep access to replaceable parts; low maintenance still requires cleaning and periodic inspection.
