German term or phrase: wenn es richtig rund werden soll
In the following from a catalogue of insulating materials:

Verarbeitungshinweise für XYZ-Bauplattensystem:

- Durch ihre einseitige Schlitzung in Längs- oder Querrichtung ist das Produkt immer dann gefragt, wenn es richtig rund werden soll.

I can't think of a snappy phrase for this - can anyone help? Unfortunately there's no more meaningful context.
