Whether you’re replacing your backyard patio or creating a rooftop deck, it’s likely that you have a sloped, unprepared surface on which to install your new porcelain deck pavers. Often, one of the most difficult parts of hardscape installation is leveling the area and preparing it for the deck tiles.

However, with Tile Tech’s innovative adjustable pedestal system, you can install your porcelain outdoor tiles in record time. Not only are they quick and easy to install, but hybrid adjustable pedestals also offer functional benefits that last well beyond the initial installation. Here are just a few of the many advantages of installing adjustable pedestals on your outdoor deck.

1. Noise reduction

One less commonly known advantage of installing adjustable pedestals is their noise reduction quality. With anti-noise heads, our hybrid adjustable pedestals reduce the sound of impact significantly.

Because of this, you can enjoy reduced noise pollution inside your home or property, whether you have a porcelain paver back patio or a roof deck. If a lot of people come and go through your home, hotel, or commercial building, you can ensure everyone rests easier with reduced foot traffic noise at all hours.

2. High strength and impact resistance

Tile Tech’s adjustable pedestals are made of 100 percent recycled and flame-resistant high-density polypropylene. They’re one of the sturdiest and most durable installation solutions on the market, so you can be sure that your paver deck will stand the test of time.

Tile Tech’s pedestal system is backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty to provide further peace of mind and quality assurance. Paired with industry-leading porcelain paving tiles, your outdoor deck will stay in good condition for years, no matter what weather or foot traffic it has to contend with.

3. Withstands thermal effects

One of the biggest causes of paver breakdown is the weather. Thermal effects are inevitable when you have an outdoor deck, but adjustable pedestals help significantly reduce these effects by absorbing structural movement.

When porcelain outdoor tiles are installed directly onto the surface of the roof deck or pool deck, there is no allowance for them to move freely, causing cracking and other damage as the stones contract and expand over the course of the year. When you use a pedestal system, however, it creates a space between the ground surface and the pavers, allowing for ease in structural movements.

4. Quick and easy installation

If you’re installing your hardscape pavers yourself, or if your project is on a tight deadline, adjustable pedestals make installation quick and foolproof. Tile Tech’s adjustable pedestals were made to be user-friendly and easy to install, with an intuitive grid design that allows pavers to easily snap into place at each corner.

The adjustable base slope plate and self-leveling head take the work out of leveling your uneven terrain, so you can achieve a perfectly level and professional-looking deck in just a matter of hours with little professional experience. No matter what your timeline or budget, adjustable pedestals can achieve your vision.
