Adjustable Pedestal 50–75 mm – Karl Dahm
Adjustable Pedestal for Perfect Terrace Installation
An adjustable pedestal is the ideal solution for anyone looking to lay terrace slabs outdoors safely and efficiently. The model from Karl Dahm (Art. 12530) features an adjustable height range of 50–75 mm and a self-leveling head. This allows slopes of up to 5% to be automatically compensated – a huge advantage for achieving an even and stable surface.
Advantages of Mortar-Free Installation
One of the major benefits of this system is mortar-free installation. This ensures that rainwater can drain freely, preventing standing water and extending the overall lifespan of the terrace. In addition, pipes or conduits running beneath the slabs do not need to be moved. The slabs are simply placed on top of the pedestals, saving both time and costs while delivering a clean and professional finish.
Adjustable Pedestal with Rubber Coating
The adjustable pedestal is equipped with a high-quality rubber coating. This prevents the slabs from slipping, reduces unwanted footstep noise, and ensures a pleasant walking surface. As a result, the terrace is not only structurally stable but also comfortable and quiet to use.
Flexible Use on Uneven Surfaces
Thanks to the integrated screw thread, the pedestals can be adjusted with millimeter precision. This makes it easy to compensate for uneven ground. Especially in outdoor areas where surfaces are rarely perfectly flat, the adjustable pedestal provides a reliable and long-lasting solution.

FAQ – Adjustable Pedestal 50–75 mm
What is an adjustable pedestal used for?
An adjustable pedestal is used as a base for terrace slabs, ensuring they are laid safely, evenly, and without mortar.
An adjustable pedestal is designed specifically for outdoor terrace slab installation. It serves as a flexible foundation that compensates for uneven ground while providing stability. With its adjustable height range of 50–75 mm and a self-leveling head, it creates a flat, secure surface even when the ground is not perfectly level.
What are the advantages of mortar-free installation?
Mortar-free installation allows rainwater to drain easily and keeps the terrace durable and low-maintenance.
The main advantage of mortar-free installation is improved water drainage. Since no mortar is used, rainwater can flow freely between the slabs, preventing standing water and frost damage. This method also saves time and effort because pipes or cables running underneath the slabs do not need to be moved. The result is a faster, cleaner, and longer-lasting installation.
How much slope can an adjustable pedestal compensate for?
An adjustable pedestal can compensate for slopes of up to 5%, creating an even surface.
The self-leveling head of the adjustable pedestal is engineered to compensate for gradients of up to 5%. This means terraces built on slightly sloping ground can still be laid evenly and securely. You avoid the need for time-consuming ground adjustments while still achieving a flat and stable surface.
How are adjustable pedestals used at walls or corners?
They can be adapted for wall or corner placement by cutting the notches in the base.
Each adjustable pedestal has four notches at the base. These can be easily cut so that the pedestal fits perfectly against walls or in corners. This design offers maximum flexibility during installation and allows precise adaptation to different building situations.
What joint spacing is created during installation?
Adjustable pedestals automatically create a 2 mm joint between the slabs.
When using adjustable pedestals, a uniform joint width of 2 mm is created. This ensures a professional and clean appearance while also supporting proper water drainage. Even spacing prevents tension between the slabs and contributes to a long-lasting, stable terrace structure.
