## Summary

A curved terrace edge can be formed by a supported cutting layout or an approved specialist system. Do not assume an ordinary WPC profile may be heat-bent on site.

## Practical method

Set out the curve on the drawing and locate the last support beneath each shortened board. Check the minimum usable fastening area where cuts produce narrow tips. Agree how exposed cut edges and fascia will be finished without blocking drainage. For an illustrative garden curve, a slightly altered radius may avoid fragile pieces and simplify maintenance. Obtain product-specific approval before bending or unusual machining. A pleasing outline is not sufficient if the boards or fixings no longer match their intended installation.

## 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.

## Curved WPC deck edges without unsupported tips — What should be confirmed before ordering?

A curved terrace edge can be formed by a supported cutting layout or an approved specialist system. Do not assume an ordinary WPC profile may be heat-bent on site. Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Support at cut ends; Minimum fixing area; Approved edge finish
