    What Is a Fire Rated Pedestal Rail System?

    September 21st, 2022

    Previously unknown in exterior applications, non-combustible pedestals and pads are now essential products to ensure compliance with fire regulations affecting the construction industry which have become significantly more stringent.

    At Wallbarn, we have acted pro-actively to the changes in fire safety regulations to produce a range of products which are fully compliant to the new regime for high rise balconies and terraces.

    Based upon our ASP and Universal pedestal design to help distribute weight effectively, we have developed a galvanised steel adjustable pedestal for paving and decking which is a Class A1 product.

    Substructure for non-combustible decking and tiling systems

    Key Advantages

    • Full Metal Substructure, made from galvanised steel
    • Class A non-combustible material (EN 13501-1:2018)
    • Profiled Aluminium Joist clicks securely onto MetalPad
    • Secure connection without mechanical fixings
    • Suitable decking and paving solutions
    • Very high weight tolerance
    • Zero corrosion
    • Creates lateral stability across the deck by reducing movement
    • Adjustable height with maximum flexibility
    • Fully compliant with draft BS 8579

    Specially profiled aluminium rails 20mm, 25mm or 50mm click onto headpiece without need for screws, drills or mechanical fixings for a secure connection.

    Powder-coated headpiece prevents any reaction between steel and aluminium.

    Paving / Tiling Applications

    • Integrated Class A Rail system for installing porcelain tiles and ceramic planks
    • Specially profiled bearer rails / joists click onto headpiece of Metalpad
    • Designed to give greater support to slabs and tiles and additional lateral strength across the deck
    • Faster installation of suspended paving and tiling projects
    • Secure connection into spring loaded headpiece fittings; no screws, no drilling on site
    • Large baseplates distribute weight efficiently reducing point loading
    • Greater spans between pedestals possible
    • Joist helps “tie together” pedestals, giving more lateral strength across the decking surface
    • Large height range using three different sized joists
    • Powder-coated headpiece prevents a reaction between steel and aluminium joist
    • Additional headpiece clicks onto joist to hold slab/tile in place
    • Clip head has four lugs for full support and uniform spacing of tile
    • Clip head slides along Rail for accurate measurement and total support
    • Fast, safe, secure construction of substructure
