Free Standing Pedestals from KHD Landscape Engineering Solutions

Free Standing Pedestals Can Help You Raise Your Paving Game

Creating a raised floor on a balcony, terrace, green roof, pool surrounds or podium comes with a number of challenges. The most common problem faced by contractors when creating these raised floors is the risk of damage to the waterproof membrane underneath.

When you use glue or mechanical fixings to support your pavers or decking it becomes very difficult to access the waterproof membrane beneath. This means that checking for leaks and repairing damage is just as likely to cause further damage to the waterproof membrane, making the problem worse.

With Elmich freestanding pedestals there is no need for mechanical fixings or glue, and access to the waterproof membrane is easy and quick. Most importantly, there's no risk of damage when trying to repair or maintain the membrane.

Some of the benefits of using free standing pedestals include improved drainage which eliminates ponding and efflorescence, and the ability to create equal levels both internally and externally as the pavers are fully adjustable from 12mm to over 1 metre.

It's also easy to conceal services underneath when you use freestanding pedestals and this can reduce the installation and lifetime costs overall. If you want to reduce water damage and improve the appearance of your pavers on your next project, consider using a freestanding pedestal system.
