Non-Combustible Paver Supports
With fire regulations in many cities becoming increasingly strict, polypropylene paver supports can no longer be used in some locations, even if fire retardant additives are included in the plastic resin. Archatrak steel pedestals are specifically designed to overcome this problem, and most importantly, this has been achieved without any significant increase in cost over conventional, non-fire rated plastic pedestals.
The solid steel fireproof pedestals can provide incremental height adjustment from as low as 1″ to a maximum of 20″. The 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ totally flat steel base distributes the load evenly over roofing membranes, but an optional 9″ x 9″ buffer pad can be supplied if required. A locking ring on the screwed column prevents any movement and ensures excellent stability.

Installation guides for building elevated decks with porcelain, wood or concrete pavers laid over our standard Eterno NM paver support pedestals can be seen here together with a short video illustrating the various stages of installation.
The installation procedure with steel non-combustible steel pedestals is similar, with the notable exception that the base of the steel pedestals cannot be cut to bring the pedestals closer to any perimeter wall or parapet.
