All you need to begin installation is a stable surface.

If, on the contrary, your ground is made of earth or grass, it will be enough to stabilize it in only 3 steps. You will need to dig 15 cm deep into the ground, then cover it with a geotextile felt to prevent weeds from invading your terrace, fill in with 15 cm of gravel and finish by compacting it all to obtain a flat surface and start laying your terrace as a slab on pedestals. 

The major advantage of using pedestals for tiling comes from the fact that laying and installing your deck is very simple: installation is done in less than 3 days.

For the first step, you simply lay the pedestals for tiling on the floor without any fasteners. The weight of the tiles will keep the pedestals on the floor. Then, thanks to the adjustment ring located under the head of the pedestal, you can adjust the height to the nearest millimeter.

Then you place the tiles on the head of the adjustable pedestals for terrace. Thanks to the 4 lugs, the tile will have an excellent support. Add a noise reduction wedge for the slab pedestal: noise and vibration reduction.

Finally, you will make the required cut-outs at the side closing of the terrace. To do this, use slab plate and the cladding support, they allow the slabs to be laid at the edge of the facade as well as at the ends of the terrace.

Another advantage is that you can raise your tiled terrace on pedestals. Indeed, you will be able to run cables and pipes under your terrace and air will circulate permanently under your terrace to avoid rising damp and the formation of bad smells. In addition, the pedestals for tiling are equipped with a drainage system.
