When it comes to installing deck pavers, proper installation is paramount. Without proper installation that allows for adequate drainage, water can quickly accumulate, flooding and damaging a building’s rooftop or foundation. Fortunately, Tile Tech’s adjustable deck supports are an excellent solution for managing drainage.

Tile Tech’s innovative adjustable pedestal system makes it easy to install porcelain pavers, raising them off the ground to create a level, even surface. However, adjustable pedestals also have several other advantages that make them an ideal choice for areas requiring maximum drainage.

1. Spacer Tabs

Spacer tabs are a crucial part of deck paver installation, as they evenly space the pavers and ensure that your result looks professional and tidy. However, spacer tabs are necessary for more than just aesthetic value; they also contribute to the effectiveness of your deck’s drainage.

Spacer tabs help ensure water can flow easily between the pavers and out through the drainage system underneath your deck. This prevents water buildup around the edges of the flooring, which can otherwise be a health and safety hazard if left unmanaged.

2. An Optimized Design

Another way in which adjustable deck supports aid drainage is through their optimized design. At Tile Tech, we designed our adjustable pedestals with drainage in mind; many of the components of our system, including the stack cap, have holes to allow water to pass through without pooling.

Adjustable pedestals are also designed with a slope that directs water away from the surface, preventing pooling and flooding underneath your outdoor deck.

3. Special Consideration for Water Features

If you plan to install an eye-catching water feature in your new outdoor area, adjustable pedestals can be customized to ensure maximum drainage. Effective drainage is especially crucial when excess water is being used, as improper drainage can quickly turn your water feature into a flooding disaster.

Tile Tech’s adjustable pedestal system includes more than a dozen components that can be mixed and matched to guarantee the most effective result for your needs. If you’re not sure where to begin, speak to one of our experts, and they can help you design an adjustable pedestal system that’s most conducive to your drainage needs and deck paver installation.
