Pedestals
Balance Pedestals
Key Advantages
- Suitable for paving and decking
- Weight tolerance of 683kg with break point of over 1 tonne.
- Can be laid in temperatures from ‐40°C to + 75°C.
- Made from high quality virgin polypropylene
- Each pedestal is capable of handling up to 683Kgs eith maximum load of over 1 tonne.
Balance Pedestals range in height from 25mm to 392mm
Ideal for Paving
- Self-levelling headpiece incorporates 4 x positioning lugs (fins) laid out in a crucifix formation set towards the edges
- The headpiece also comprises 4 x separate parts created to allow up to a 5% or 2.86° slope correction in all directions
- The mechanism at the bottom of the headpiece allows smooth movement and positioning of the paving slab
- The lugs (fins) separate paving slabs and tiles on the headpiece to allow sufficient drainage between slabs
- This creates a uniform paving line so the slabs are laid completely straight
- A rubber anti-shock pad slots onto the headpiece over a series of ridges to give better grip to the slab and help insulate against vibration and noise travelling through the pedestal to the deck beneath
Ideal for Decking
- The lugs (fins) are set out towards the edges of the headpiece giving a 55mm gap between them to house a timber joist
- Decking boards are then fixed to the timber joist frame no need to cut furrings – simply adjust your pedestal height
- The auto-correcting head makes installing decking systems much faster than traditional methods
Superior Quality
- Manufactured from injection moulded virgin fibre polypropylene to ensure technical compliance
- Each pedestal has a weight tolerance of 683kg per unit
- Tested to temperatures of +75°c and -40°c
Product Info
Telescopic stem
Our Balance pedestals are manufactured with a telescopic stem which is twisted by hand to achieve a completely flat upper surface. This saves a great deal of time and labour.
Suspended system
The weight of the slab holds everything in place. Rainwater can run between and under the slabs, so there is no standing water left on the surface. This improves health & safety as it makes the paved area less slippery.
Hide unsightly objects
Cables, water pipes and drainage outlets can be concealed underneath the paving slabs or decking, improving the aesthetics and optimising the building footprint, bringing more yield to the developer.
Low threshold
Our 25-50mm Balances have been specifically designed to make installations at very low height thresholds easier.
A small “PULL” tab on the side enables installers to open up the pedestal and set the unit at different heights, depending on which sized notch they decide to connect together. Each setting is 5mm higher at each step. By changing the setting of the notches installers can create a 25-30mm pedestal, a 30-35mm pedestal and a 35-40mm pedestal.
The standard lug height is 10mm, to reflect the lower height threshold of the actual pedestal and the fact that often very thin tiles are used with these products.
Heights of 40-45mm can be achieved by simply adding a 5mm plate under the pedestal.
