Frequently Asked Questions
1. What materials can the Deck Bender heat?
The Deck Bender is designed for solid PVC decking materials. It provides controlled, even heating to soften the board for bending while helping maintain its appearance and structural integrity.
Composite and foam PVC boards can be bent, but the process is more complex. Please get in touch with us to discuss your specific material and the most suitable heat-forming setup for your project.
2. What board sizes does the Deck Bender accommodate?
The standard Deck Bender is designed for boards measuring up to 5400mm × 140mm or 6100mm x 140mm.
3. Can I use the Deck Bender on shorter boards?
Yes. Shorter boards can be heated by filling any unused blanket length with board offcuts. This helps maintain even heat distribution and protects the blanket during operation.
4. Does the Deck Bender require additional insulation?
No. The Deck Bender features an integrated insulated blanket, eliminating the need for separate insulation or additional heating blankets. Increased insulation around both ends helps reduce heat loss and maintain a more uniform temperature across the heating zone, supporting consistent forming results and simplifying setup.
5. What materials are used to manufacture the Deck Bender Heating Blanket?
The blanket is manufactured using premium European-engineered materials selected for durability, thermal performance, and long service life in demanding workshop and construction environments.
6. How does the Deck Bender control temperature?
The Deck Bender features an integrated temperature sensor within the heating blanket that continuously monitors the heating surface during operation. Paired with a digital temperature controller, it allows operators to set, monitor, and maintain the desired temperature throughout the heating cycle for precise and consistent heating.
