Solidor 14 mm reinforcement pedestal: security for your large tiles
When a terrace tile (porcelain stoneware, natural stone) has large dimensions, placing only 4 pedestals at its corners is often not enough. The center of the tile then becomes a structural weak point susceptible to cracking under the weight of heavy furniture or during frequent foot traffic. The 14 mm reinforcement pedestal is the simple technical solution to remedy this risk.
Unlike standard pedestals that feature fins to create joints between tiles, this reinforcement pedestal has a completely flat and smooth head. This allows it to be slid under any part of the tile, typically in its center, to serve as an additional support point and ensure the longevity of your outdoor area.

Why integrate this 14 mm reinforcement pedestal?
📏 Large surface tiles
Essential for stabilizing tiles whose side exceeds 60 cm.
🏺 Load support
Relieves the tile under the weight of heavy garden furniture or decorations.
🚶 Intensive traffic
Prevents cracking risks in high-traffic areas.
🏠 Structural safety
Avoids unpleasant resonance underfoot when walking on the terrace.
Steps for successful installation
Using this pedestal is intuitive and integrates perfectly into your usual installation layout.
- 1. Base structure: Place your standard pedestals (with fins) at the 4 corners of your tiles as you normally do.
- 2. Strategic placement: Insert the reinforcement pedestal (Ref 003281) under the center of each tile. If you are using very long tiles, use two to cover the entire surface.
- 3. Final setup: Gently place your tile on the 4 corner pedestals and the central reinforcement pedestal. The flatness of the smooth head ensures total and stable contact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the fins off a standard pedestal to replace this reinforcement pedestal?
Although possible in an emergency, this practice does not guarantee absolute flatness. The Solidor reinforcement pedestal is specifically injected with a flat head, offering stable and immediate support without having to manually modify your products.
Is this 14 mm pedestal compatible with Solidor risers?
No, this model is a fixed monoblock pedestal. It does not allow for the addition of risers. It is designed for low clearance heights where the structure must be stable without additional adjustment.
How many reinforcement pedestals should I order?
The rule is simple: count 1 reinforcement pedestal per tile as soon as the format exceeds 60 x 60 cm. If you are installing long tiles (e.g., 120 x 40 cm), plan for 2 reinforcement pedestals per tile.
