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 deck pavers 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.

It Quickly Creates a Level Surface

One of the biggest challenges in installing outdoor deck pavers is creating a level surface. Uneven ground or sloped areas can make the installation process tedious and time-consuming. However, adjustable pedestals make this process incredibly easy and quick. The innovative pedestal system can be easily adjusted and modified to accommodate for any uneven ground, creating a perfectly level deck surface in no time. 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.

Traditional methods of creating a level surface for deck pavers involve digging, leveling, and compacting the ground, followed by the installation of a sub-base to support the tiles. With adjustable pedestals, however, most of this process is entirely eliminated, as the pedestals can be quickly set up in their desired place and adjusted to the desired height and angle to create a level surface. This not only drastically cuts down on installation time but also reduces material costs and overall labor.

It Eliminates the Need to Build Sub-Frames

Sub-frames are traditionally used to support deck pavers and provide a stable base for them to be installed on. However, the process of building sub-frames can be time-consuming and requires additional resources such as lumber, screws, and tools. 

With adjustable pedestals, the need for a sub-frame is eliminated, making your project much quicker and easier to complete. Tile Tech adjustable pedestals come with spacer tabs and joist holders that make it remarkably simple to properly space and lay down the deck pavers. Our deck pavers even snap into place for a simple and secure installation that takes only a few hours — no grouting required. The weight of the tiles is also evenly distributed by the nature of the adjustable pedestal system, eliminating the need for additional support. Not only that, but our roof pedestals also provide a more durable and long-lasting support system for your deck pavers than a traditional sub-frame, ensuring that your patio, deck, or walkway will be sturdy and stable for years to come.

It Easily Accommodates Difficult Areas

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

Luckily, Tile Tech’s 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.
