Pedestals FAQs

What are pedestals used for in decking and paving?

Pedestals are used to support raised decking and paving installations where height, level adjustment and surface alignment are important. They are commonly used on balconies, terraces, flat roofs and landscaped outdoor areas.

What is the difference between plastic pedestals and steel pedestals?

Plastic pedestals are adjustable supports for raised decking and paving, while steel pedestal systems are used where a fire-rated support system is required. The right option depends on the project location, build-up height and fire performance requirements.

Are plastic pedestals suitable for both decking and paving?

Yes, plastic pedestal options are available for both decking and paving, but the correct type should be selected for the surface being installed. Decking and paving layouts may need different headpieces, support details and accessories. 

Can pedestals be used on balconies and roof terraces?

Yes. Pedestals are commonly used on balconies and roof terraces to create a raised, level surface above the base structure. The system should be chosen based on load requirements, height range, surface type and fire-rating needs.

What accessories might be needed for a pedestal system?

Depending on the installation, accessories may include aluminium rails, paving headpieces, self-levelling headpieces, spreader plates, brackets and extension components. These help create a complete and stable substructure layout.
