Pedestal Paver Solutions For Outdoor Decks

Pedestal flooring is a raised floor system that sits on pedestals above the substrate (often bare ground or a concrete slab), creating a service space underneath for cables, airflow control and drainage.

As well as numerous commercial applications, pedestal flooring is becoming a popular choice for residential outdoor decks, due to the many benefits it offers.

6 Benefits of pedestal pavers for outdoor decks

1. One of the biggest advantages of outdoor pedestal flooring is that it can be erected faster than it takes to build a traditional deck. Instead of preparing the ground, digging holes for support posts and pouring cement, the pedestals are simply laid out at defined intervals over the required area and the deck frame is then constructed on top of them.
    
2. Along with ease of installation, another benefit of pedestal systems is that they can be deployed on sloping or uneven surfaces. Because each pedestal is adjustable from above using a special key, a flat, stable and perfectly level deck surface can be achieved on even the roughest substrate.
   
   
3. Outdoor pedestal flooring also provides easy underfloor access, making repairs or maintenance a breeze and allowing air to circulate freely and water to drain away.
   
   
4. The underfloor service area also makes wiring easy for outdoor entertainment features such as sound systems, lighting and outdoor kitchens, with all cables laid neatly out of sight under the deck.
   
   
5. A pedestal decking system can also be deployed on any surface including balconies, patios and rooftops, whether they’re made from timber, tiles, stone, concrete or even composites.
   
   
6. And because it’s a lightweight and fully portable system, your outdoor pedestal flooring can be easily relocated to another position in your yard if you decide to reconfigure your outdoor living area in the future.
