When it comes to advances in patio paving technology, revolutionary breakthroughs are few and far between.
However, when something ground-breaking does come along, it usually more than makes up for the wait (take porcelain paving as proof of that).
Pedestal supports are one such innovation, providing the archaic processes of the paving business with a quantum leap into the 21st century.
Intrigued? You should be! Read on for the complete lowdown on these awesome innovations.
What is a Pedestal Support System?
An ingenious alternative to cement slab laying, pedestal supports provide you with a uniquely simple way of attaining a level paving surface with little effort at all.
Each pedestal essentially acts as a supportive stump, providing a sturdy pillar for each corner of the pavers to rest securely on.
The process of dry-installation also means your new paving slabs won’t require any time to set, meaning your new patio surface will be good walk on straight away.
Additional Benefits of Pedestal Installation
With no need for cement or adhesive, the pavers are also inherently easy to lift, should you require access to the substrate or want/need to replace any tiles.
The supports even leave room for pipes and underfloor wiring, should any of your outdoor plans involve water provision or electrical hook-ups; e.g. water features, outdoor lighting, etc.
Meanwhile, the void between the paving slab and the ground surface beneath also increases thermal and acoustic insulation.
Adjustable Pedestal Supports Height
With a simple switch mechanism that provides adjustable height, allowing you to achieve a surface height of 28mm to 58mm.
Additionally, there’s even the option to boost the height of your supports with a pedestal extension collar, adding an additional 30mm to the pedestal’s maximum height.
Better still, you can use up to seven collars per support, adding a whopping 210mm to your overall pedestal height.
