These self-levelling pedestals are designed to bear heavy loads, ensuring the safety of the users while adding an aesthetic appeal to the space.
Understanding Mega Balance Pedestals
Mega Balance pedestals are heavy-duty, self-levelling adjustable pedestals designed specifically for decking and paving. These pedestals have a unique design that caters to heavy loads while maintaining a perfect balance. They have a broad height range, from 25mm to 1025mm, and are equipped with a self-levelling headpiece to accommodate variations in the deck surface.
Let’s take a detailed look at the features and benefits of Mega Balance pedestals.
Key Features and Benefits
The Mega Balance heavy-duty pedestals come with a plethora of features that provide significant benefits:
Heavy-Duty Design
The pedestals are crafted to withstand heavy loads, making them ideal for public spaces or areas with heavy traffic. Each pedestal can withstand a load of up to 2 tonnes, ensuring safety and stability.
Adjustable Height
The pedestals offer a vast height range from 25mm to 1025mm, catering to various installation requirements. The height can be adjusted by twisting the stem, even when the decking joists are in-situ.
Self-Levelling Headpiece
The self-levelling headpiece is designed to accommodate differences in the deck surface, ensuring a completely flat finished surface. It comprises four separate parts, allowing up to a 5% or 2.86° slope correction in all directions.
Cross-Rail System Compatibility
The Mega Balance pedestals are compatible with a cross-rail system. This feature offers extra stability, particularly for paving and decking.
Mega Balance Pedestal Applications
The Mega Balance pedestals are versatile and can be applied in a variety of installations:
For Paving
When used for paving, the self-levelling headpiece incorporates four positioning lugs (fins) in a crucifix formation set towards the edges. The mechanism at the bottom of the headpiece allows smooth movement and positioning of the paving slab. This design ensures sufficient drainage between slabs, creating a uniform paving line.
For Decking
For decking applications, the lugs (fins) are set out towards the edges of the headpiece, giving a 55mm gap to house a timber joist. Decking boards are then fixed to the timber joist frame, and there’s no need to cut furrings – simply adjust the pedestal height.
Cross-Rail System
The Mega Balance pedestals are compatible with a cross-rail system. This system offers extra stability for paving and decking, ensuring a sturdy and safe surface.
Technical Specifications
The Mega Balance pedestals boast robust technical specifications. They are made from high-quality virgin polypropylene, offering superior durability and resistance to temperature variations ranging from +75°C to -40°C. The pedestals have a weight tolerance of 1.5 tonne per pedestal, with the breaking point exceeding 2 tonnes. This strength makes them an ideal choice for heavy-duty applications.
Sustainability
Mega Balance pedestals aren’t just about strength and performance. They also score high on sustainability. They are 100% recyclable and contain 20% recycled content. This aspect makes them an eco-friendly choice for construction projects, aligning with the growing demand for green building materials.
Wrapping Up
The Mega Balance heavy-duty pedestals for decking are a testament to innovation in the construction industry. They combine strength, versatility, and sustainability, offering a comprehensive solution for creating stunning outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a public area or a private deck, Mega Balance pedestals deliver performance without compromising on aesthetics.
