What is a pedestal pod system?
Adjustable pedestals give you the ability to level any surface and serve as a foundation for different types of pavers or flooring such as timber, composite decking, marble, paving, granite, and precast concrete. The pedestals come with an anti-slip and noise-reducing head. Adjustable pedestals can be used to create raised floors on balconies, green roofs, water features, and terraces; ensuring sophisticated paving without the need for expensive structural work. With a pedestal system, you can raise and adjust floor surfaces for elevated deck applications, support garden pavers, and accommodate waterproofing membranes.
-
Acoustic Insulation.
Thanks to the "bi-component" anti-slip and anti-noise head, our pedestal supports are the only ones in the world able to reduce the sound impact level up to 25dB. -
Quick Water Drainage.
The small gap between each slab or tile allows water to discharge onto the laying surface underneath the pedestals and facilitates rapid drainage. -
Perfectly Level Surface.
With the pedestal system, you can easily compensate for slight unevenness, irregularities and any gradients on the laying surface, creating a perfectly stable and flat paved surface. -
Absorption of Structural Movement.
Without adhesion the finished floor is independent, allowing the paving and supports to absorb expansion and structural movements. -
High Strength and Resistance
The sturdy structure of the pedestal derives not only from technical experience in formulating the compounds used but also by the continuous thread between the base and screw. All this guarantees a strong, safe and durable pedestal for your flooring
-
Entirely Recyclable
The Pedestal System is entirely recyclable and is not required to be fixed to the substrate with an adhesive or chemical component. -
Better Thermal Insulation
The pedestals create a void between the paving and membrane, encouraging constant air circulation, extending the life of the waterproofing and improving heat insulation, while protecting the surface from UV degradation. -
Time Effective Installation
The adjustable nature of our pedestals makes for time-effective installation, while the minimal site preparation required also means lower cost to new build projects and less disruption to projects already inhabited. -
Easy Access and Concealment
The pedestal system creates a gap between the floor and underlying membrane, allowing the passage of pipes (such as plumbing and electrical) and allocation of any equipment, while retaining ease of access. -
Low Weight
With no requirements for surface preparation, the floating pedestal system provides a lightweight solution, with a minimal number of installation products, equating to substantially lower cost.
Both elements of the flooring and the pedestal support substructure are recyclable. At the end of the life of the building and/or the floor, everything can be easily removed and recycled, to give life to other products. The pedestal laying system does not require any glue or chemical product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pedestals made out of?
The pedestals are made out of high grade polypropylene plastic and house a bi-component head that include high grade chemically infused rubber.
What sort of substrates can pedestals be used on?
The pedestals can be used on any solid substrate that is at least 98% compact.
What is the minimum thickness for tile/stone pavers for use with pedestals?
Before using any surface material on a raised floor, it is advised you seek the technical data from the supplier/manufacturer to ensure it is fit for purpose. Aside from that, the general guidelines we advise as the minimum are as follows. With porcelain pavers, the minimum thickness requirement is 20mm. With natural stone the minimum requirement is 30mm thick.
Can pedestals be used for decking?
Pedestals can indeed be used for decking. We have two options with our pedestals, the first being a wood deck head which adapts to a timber joist accessory and the second is an aluminium joist head which adapts to our very own aluminium joist. When deciding between the two it is good to consider longevity, height restrictions, termite and other bug presence in your area/home, general strength you require.
How much weight can the pedestals withstand?
Each pedestal series has a slightly different weight loading resistance, depending on height and series and they range from 4 tonnes central weight loading capacity to approximately 2 tonnes per pedestal.
What sort of surface material can be used with the pedestals?
Most surface materials that are fit for purpose can be used with pedestals. Give our specialist team a call to find out more.
What's the difference between a pedestal and a pod system?
There's no difference between a pedestal and a pod system. These are just two different terms for the exact same system. So there's no reason to have to choose between them!
What is the height of your aluminium joist?
The height of our aluminium joist is 25mm and can be used with a pedestal as low as 10mm, giving you a total height of 35mm before surface material. Great for low clearance decks!
Where can the pedestals be purchased?
We are the exclusive distributors for the East coast of Australia so you can purchase directly from us at KEKSIÄ.
