When investing in outdoor porcelain pavers for your new deck or patio, it’s crucial that you ensure proper installation and quality of materials to achieve a long-lasting finish. If you cut corners on the quality of your deck pavers or installation accessories, you could find yourself with uneven surfaces, cracked tiles, or an unsafe deck structure overall.

Fortunately, Tile Tech adjustable pedestals can help protect your porcelain paver installation and ensure a safe, long-lasting result. By choosing high-quality roof pedestals for your project, you can protect your investment and extend the lifespan of your installation for a higher return on investment.

Adjustable Pedestals Protect Your Outdoor Deck from the Elements

Water is an unavoidable element of any outdoor area, yet it can spell disaster if your structure isn’t built to withstand rain, snow and other potential hazards. Allowing water in your outdoor decking without adequate materials can lead to rot, rust and other unwanted effects that can degrade stability and increase the risk of harm.

Made of PVC pipe and other water-resistant materials, Tile Tech’s adjustable pedestal system won’t rust or degrade with exposure to the elements, nor will it allow the elements to seep through and harm your underlying rooftop or structure. Whether laying pool deck tiles or rooftop turf, contractors know they can trust Tile Tech’s adjustable pedestals for safe and effective outdoor deck structures.

Spacer Tabs Aid Drainage and Protect Your Deck Tiles

Spacer tabs are a key component of an adjustable pedestal system because they ensure consistent space between each porcelain deck tile. However, they offer additional functional benefits beyond just evenly spacing your materials.

The pedestals’ open joints allow water to flow easily below the deck tiles to the substrate, aiding in drainage and ensuring a drier and safer paver surface for guests. Additionally, using roof pedestals protects your porcelain deck tiles from thermal effects by absorbing structural movement. By creating a space between the ground surface and the deck pavers, you allow the tiles more room for movement and prevent freeze-thaw cracking and other thermal effects.

Adjustable Pedestals Protect Guests

Most importantly, adjustable pedestals help protect the people using your outdoor deck. Porcelain pavers are incredibly slip-resistant, but adjustable pedestals further reduce the risk of accidents by facilitating efficient drainage and preventing water buildup.

Using roof pedestals to create an elevated outdoor deck also allows you to store electrical lines and other wires underneath the pavers’ surface, eliminating trip hazards and ensuring the safety of you and your guests.
