## Summary

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.

Clearance requirements | Obtain applicable product or design evidence
Water escape | Assign installation and maintenance responsibility

## Low-height WPC terraces — What should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the three project checks below with the supplier and the responsible designer. A sample establishes appearance, not approval of the complete installation. Build-up height; Clearance requirements; Water escape
