How to install small terrace elements that remain after cutting? For example, small pieces of pavers or boards?

How can they be supported and what material should be used in areas where there is a very narrow triangular-shaped edge element of the paver at the edge of the terrace near the wall?

The design of a terrace or balcony often has an irregular shape due to individual architectural projects. It is important to be aware that any non-standard shapes significantly complicate the implementation of the terrace, not only in the case of ventilated terrace systems but also when installed in a traditional way using adhesive.

If pavers are laid on the terrace and a so-called cut-off piece, resulting in a small element, remains, which cannot be supported by a minimum of three pedestals due to its size, an individual installation should be performed.

Cut-off pieces smaller than 25 cm have reduced strength. Before starting the work of laying pavers on a ventilated terrace, we recommend measuring the pavers. If the measurements indicate that the cut pieces will be less than 25 cm, we recommend making cut-off pieces at the beginning of the terrace as well to avoid using such small pieces.

Individual installation of an element for a terrace with pavers:

A stainless steel sheet should be placed next to the small cut-off piece, cut in a way that it covers the area where the cut piece is to be placed. The cut-off piece should be glued into place, maintaining a gap between the pavers, similar to the gaps throughout the terrace.
