If you’re a contractor, project manager or professional landscaper, you know that time is money. Installation time can often be one of the most significant factors in the final project cost, and manpower is harder to come by now than ever before.

When installing outdoor porcelain tiles for a residential or commercial landscape, significant time is spent prepping the area for installation. In fact, this often takes more time than the tile laying itself. Luckily, with Tile Tech adjustable pedestals, you can significantly reduce your installation time for all outdoor hardscaping projects.

1. No Need to Level Existing Groundwork

It’s incredibly rare to have a perfectly level surface on which to install your deck pavers. More often, you’ll have a hilly terrain, uneven grass area, or gently sloping rooftop. Typically, this would require extensive effort to perfectly level the existing groundwork. One of the most difficult parts of the process, it also eats into a large part of the budget.

By using adjustable pedestals, however, you can avoid this process entirely. Whether you have a slightly sloped area or a super steep hill, adjustable deck supports can be modified to accommodate for the slope and correct it. Each pedestal can be adjusted in height up to 36 inches, and stackable caps allow for minor height adjustments up to 2 inches and slope correction up to 3 percent.

2. No Need to Build Sub-Frames

Traditional paved patios require a timber sub-frame to be built, upon which the porcelain pavers are laid. With adjustable pedestals from Tile Tech, you’re correcting any slope and creating a natural sub-base in one easy step. 

Tile Tech adjustable pedestals also come with spacer tabs and joist holders that make it remarkably simple to properly space and lay down the deck pavers. Tile Tech porcelain pavers even snap into place for a simple and secure installation that takes only a few hours — no grouting required.

3. Easily Accommodate Difficult Areas

Not all installation areas will be perfectly rectangular, creating a challenge for installers. You may need to cut tile to finish the pattern cleanly, or you may have a curved area at the edge of your installation site. 

Tile Tech adjustable pedestals simplify these dilemmas with perforated spacer tabs that can be easily removed for greater installation versatility. By having so many varied and customizable components in our adjustable pedestal system, Tile Tech enables you to create the installation solution that’s perfectly suited to your needs.
