Self-leveling adjustable pedestal for paving – 55/75 mm ESSENTIEL by Jouplast

Achieve a perfectly level terrace even on sloping terrain with the 55/75 mm self-leveling pedestal. This support system is specifically engineered to automatically correct ground slopes, providing a stable and professional foundation for your outdoor flooring. Designed for pedestrian use, it is compatible with porcelain stoneware, concrete slabs, and other paving materials with a recommended thickness of at least 2 cm.

These pedestals are built for longevity, offering exceptional resistance to atmospheric conditions like frost and intense sunlight. Their design allows for open joints between slabs, ensuring efficient water drainage and protecting the underlying structure or waterproofing membrane.

Key Advantages:

• Self-Leveling System: Automatically adjusts to ground slopes to create a perfectly flat terrace surface.

• Heavy-Duty Strength: Certified to support loads of over 1000 kg.

• Standards Compliant: Fully meets the requirements of DTU 43.1 for terrace installations.

• Maximum Stability: Large 208 mm base plate distributes weight evenly and prevents tipping.

• Membrane Compatible: Safe for use on bituminous or PVC waterproofing membranes when used with a wide, smooth base.

Technical Characteristics

• Height Adjustment: 55 to 75 mm

• Load Resistance: Greater than 1 ton

• Base Diameter: 208 mm

• Head Diameter: 120 mm

• Spacers: 4 fins with 3 mm thickness

• Temperature Resistance: Frost and UV resistant

Installation Guidelines and Compatibility

• Usage: Exclusively for paving slabs. This model is not designed for joists or secondary wooden structures.

• Slab Thickness: For optimal stability, use tiles with a minimum thickness of 2 cm.

• Waterproofing Protection: To protect membranes and prevent local abrasion, we recommend adding a layer of protection (geotextile felt or damping pad) under each pedestal.

• Prohibited Installations: Never use pedestals with metal bases or mechanical ground fixings on waterproofing membranes, as they will compromise the seal.

Good Practices
Always verify the required height for your project, factoring in the thickness of your chosen tile (usually around 2 cm). The ESSENTIEL range offers solutions for various heights, starting from 10 mm fixed supports up to 285 mm self-leveling models. Tiles should be laid without grout joints to allow for natural movement and drainage.
