Adjustable Pedestal Supports with Fixed Head

The Flexible Foundation for Your Patio Paving


Why Adjustable Pedestal Supports Are Essential for Tilers and Tradespeople

Adjustable pedestal supports with a fixed head have become indispensable in the daily work of tilers and tradespeople. They enable a quick, precise, and mortar-free installation of patio paving on various substrates — even on slopes or uneven surfaces. Especially in demanding projects, they provide the perfect solution to compensate for irregularities and create a durable, stable surface.

Compared to traditional methods, using pedestal supports saves you both time and money while improving the quality and longevity of your finished work. This makes them an essential tool for professional users.


Common Challenges in the Trade and How Pedestal Supports Solve Them

When installing patio paving, tradespeople often face several challenges:

  • Uneven or sloping substrates complicate installation and reduce stability.
  • Time-consuming and costly levelling work with mortar or screed increases labour.
  • Later access to pipes or cables beneath the patio can be difficult.
  • Weather-related stresses can quickly damage inferior materials.

Adjustable pedestal supports offer a smart solution: They compensate for unevenness with millimetre precision and allow exact adjustment to slopes without extensive preparatory work. This creates a uniformly level and load-bearing surface — all without mortar.

Additionally, the open space beneath the patio facilitates repairs or maintenance on pipes. The sturdy materials used ensure high weather resistance and durability even under extreme environmental conditions.


Construction and Functionality of Fixed Head Adjustable Pedestal Supports

An adjustable pedestal support consists of three main parts:

  • A stable base that evenly distributes the weight of the paving on the ground.
  • A height-adjustable screw, allowing precise height adjustment.
  • The fixed head, which securely holds the paving slab and prevents slipping thanks to its design.

The fixed head is special because it provides a precise and permanent positioning without being height-adjustable itself. This model is especially suitable for substrates that are already mostly level or where the slope is compensated by the screw height.

Height adjustment is quick and easy with a standard screwdriver — a major advantage that simplifies installation.


Versatile Applications of Adjustable Pedestal Supports

Our pedestal supports are true all-rounders for professional tradespeople:

  • Ideal for installing patio slabs made of wood, WPC, stone, or ceramic.
  • Perfect for terraces, balconies, and roof terraces with varying build-up heights.
  • Particularly beneficial on uneven or sloping surfaces, enabling millimetre-precise adjustment.
  • Allow easy integration of pipes and cables beneath the patio without costly chiselling.

With height adjustability from 25 to 160 mm, these supports cover a wide range of structural requirements — from small level differences to greater build-up heights.


Advantages of Mortar-Free Installation with Pedestal Supports

A major benefit of this technology is the mortar-free installation. This not only saves time and labour costs but also increases flexibility for future modifications or repairs.

Mortar-free installation means:

  • Faster work without waiting for drying times.
  • Easy dismantling and reinstallation without damaging patio slabs.
  • Avoidance of cracks and frost damage that rigid mortar layers can cause.
  • Sustainability through reduced material use and waste.

  • Carefully placing patio slabs on the fixed heads and securing with edge clips if necessary.
  • Regularly checking the height adjustment, especially during seasonal temperature changes.

These tips help you achieve a stable and safe patio system that lasts.
