Advantages of patio slabs on pedestal supports
Patio slabs made of fine stoneware, natural stone, and ceramic can be installed in various ways, all of which are associated with certain advantages and disadvantages as well as risks. These need to be evaluated in advance to find the suitable method for your own terrace. Currently, the installation of patio slabs on pedestal supports is increasing in popularity as it can be implemented flexibly and cost-effectively with the appropriate instructions. Pedestal slab support systems for the patio are also weather-resistant and require little maintenance. Sounds good, doesn't it? Here are the main advantages of patio slabs on pedestal supports at a glance:
Easy installation
Every standard pedestal has four detachable fields which allow the pedestal supports to be split into corner and edge pieces without much effort and special tools. Due to this individual execution and the mortarless, possibly even dry installation, patio slabs on pedestals can be installed easily.
Adapted to the substrate
Not every substrate is the same. Some floors are firm and stable, others are uneven, possibly even slightly moist or spongy. Pedestals for patio slabs are available in varying designs, for example smooth or with knobs, and thus adapt to the ground conditions. For larger unevenness, compensating washers or adjustable pedestal supports can be used. It is possible to apply screed to the substrate before installing the slabs, but this is associated with higher costs.
Combination capability
Pedestals come in different designs. They can have a fixed height or be height-adjustable and levelable. There are also different types depending on the substrate. When installing patio slabs, you can also mix and match. Some pedestals can be stacked on top of each other (similar to the pedestal effect), which helps avoid potential frost damage. The use of joint crosses is especially useful when installing on gravel. Wall distance clips and clip attachments for claddings and steps cover all areas of application.
Intelligent drainage
No worry about frost and water damage: The open joint offers optimal drainage, allowing any water residues to drain into the substrate and be absorbed by it. This avoids dangerous water deposits that can lead to cracks and blow-ups in frost.
Drain access
Height-adjustable pedestals on patio slabs not only allow water to drain away, they also provide direct access to any drains that are installed under the slab coverings. These can thus be easily cleaned of leaves and dirt, allowing water residues to drain away cleanly.
Adjustable pedestals after installation
The advantage of height-adjustable slab supports is their ability to adapt to conditions, even after the patio slabs have been laid. Using a special key, the slab covering can be adjusted and adapted to the substrate afterwards, for example if smaller height differences become apparent after completion, or when individual slabs or slab sections need to be cleaned.
Patio slabs on pedestals offer numerous advantages. With a close look at the instructions, the right accessories, and different combination possibilities for changing ground conditions and positions, installation is a breeze. Fixed and height-adjustable pedestal supports as well as the corresponding tools are available in the natural stone shipping online shop. The required amount can be determined in no time with the pedestal calculator.
