Application

  • Raised decking or paving, particularly heavy-duty applications.
  • Ideal for high traffic areas
  • Not suitable for projects that need to meet Class A specification (see Wallbarn' other fire rated pedestals/products).

Description

Heavy-duty self-levelling adjustable height pedestals for decking, with cross-rail system for extra stability.

Features and benefits:

  • Designed for heavy loads and foot traffic.
  • All components have been independently tested for weight tolerances.
  • Height range of 25–1025 mm.
  • The self-levelling headpiece is used to accommodate differences in the deck surface below the pedestal.
  • The aluminium rails are specially designed to clip onto the Mega Balance Pedestal without the need for any mechanical fixing.
  • The system links all the pedestals together to form a strong and stable substructure for decking or Paving applications.
  • This system is ideal to cover up and pipes or cabling that runs across the project area.
  • For tiling/paving projects, a polypropylene headpiece clips onto the aluminium rail, supporting tiles with built-in rubber acoustic shims and lugs for secure placement and drainage gaps.
  • For decking projects, the system is simply the Mega Balance adjustable pedestal with aluminium joists. The aluminium joists have a perfectly flat 60mm width for the decking to be fixed to.
  • The system will not rot, warp, bend or corrode making it ideal for large commercial projects.
