A2 Rated Pedestals and Rails for Paving FAQs

What is a paving pedestal system used for?

A paving pedestal system is used to support paving slabs above a roof, balcony, terrace or external floor surface. It helps create a level paved area while allowing space beneath the paving for drainage, services and height adjustment.

Why choose A2 rated paving pedestals?

A2 rated paving pedestals are a practical choice for projects where fire performance and non-combustible support materials are important. They are often used on balconies, terraces and flat roofs where plastic pedestal systems may not be suitable for the specification.

Are fire rated paving pedestals suitable for balconies?

Yes. Fire rated paving pedestals can be suitable for balcony projects when used with compatible paving slabs, rails and installation components. The correct pedestal height, spacing and support layout should always be selected to suit the project requirements.

Do paving support pedestals help with drainage?

Yes. Paving support pedestals raise the paving surface above the substrate, allowing water to drain below the slabs. This is useful on balconies, terraces and flat roofs where the finished paving surface needs to remain level while the base below may include drainage falls.

What are non combustible paving pedestals made from?

Non combustible paving pedestals are typically manufactured using metal components rather than plastic or rubber. The MetalPad system uses steel and aluminium components with an anti-corrosion coating for external suspended paving and decking applications.

Can paving pedestals be used with aluminium rails?

Yes. The pedestal system can be used with compatible aluminium rails to create a stable support structure for paving. The correct rail layout will depend on the paving slab size, load requirements and project specification.

What components are needed for an A2 rated paving pedestal system?

For a complete installation, you may need adjustable pedestals, paving heads, aluminium rails, connectors and other compatible support components. BM Steel can help you choose suitable products for your paving layout and specification.
