ADVANCED PAVING PEDESTAL SYSTEM
PaveLift™ is an innovative paving solution delivering faster installation, improved accessibility and refined architectural outcomes.
PaveLift™ Pedestal Systems are redefining elevated paving solutions for commercial projects, delivering performance benefits that go far beyond aesthetics. Designed to support pavers, tiles, or decking above the substrate, the adjustable pedestal system creates a perfectly level surface while allowing for efficient drainage and easy access to services beneath.
By creating a floating surface that is not bonded directly to the waterproof membrane, the system helps protect the membrane from UV exposure, thermal movement, and foot traffic, contributing to improved durability and refined architectural outcomes across the entire surface.
Our team works closely with architects, builders and contractors to recommend the right solution to ensure safe, functional and long term paved solutions.
PAVELIFT™ PEDESTAL SYSTEMS
COMMERCIAL BENEFITS
-
Quicker and simpler than traditional methods, helping reduce labour costs and project timelines.
-
Compatible with a wide range of finishes including tiles, pavers, timber and composite decking.
-
Durable design and accessible substructure make ongoing upkeep easier and more cost effective.
-
Elevated design prevents water pooling, reducing damage and improving safety.
-
The void beneath allows for concealed services like electrical, plumbing and irrigation with easy access for maintenance.
Choosing the Correct Pedestals
Adjustable Pedestals
A versatile support solution for raised outdoor flooring systems. Compatible with timber, WPC, porcelain, natural stone, composite and metal finishes, they can be installed on any stable substrate for a strong, level foundation.
Self-Levelling Pedestals
A versatile solution for creating floating floor systems on balconies, terraces, and roof decks. Featuring an integrated gimbal head, they automatically adjust to accommodate surface gradients of up to 5%, ensuring a level finished surface while compensating for falls in the substructure.
Wood Joist
Wood joist and cradle systems provide stable elevated support for timber battens, composite beams, and raised outdoor surfaces. They are primarily used in outdoor decking and terrace construction on raised adjustable pedestals.
Aluminium Joist
The joist securely snaps into the specially engineered joist cradle, eliminating the need for screws and allowing for fast, efficient installation. Aluminium joists offer superior durability and structural stability and are resistant to rust, rot, and insect damage.
INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
Pedestal paving is suitable for installation over any stable substrate and is ideal for rooftops, terraces, balconies, and pool surrounds. Manufactured from 100% recyclable plastic, PaveLift helps reduce waste while supporting a more sustainable built environment for future generations.
Typical paver thickness recommendations:
Porcelain: 20 mm
Concrete pavers: 40–50 mm+
Natural stone: subject to engineering requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pedestals provide better drainage, easier maintenance access, faster installation, and future flexibility without disturbing the waterproofing system.
-
Yes. Pedestal systems are commonly used over waterproof membranes because they protect the membrane while allowing drainage and future access. Considerations should be taken into account of compatibility with associated waterproofing membrane and pedestal materials, to avoid any compromise to membranes longevity.
-
Yes. Water drains through the open joints between pavers and flows across the substrate to designated drainage points.
-
Yes. Individual pavers can be lifted and replaced without removing large sections of the floor.
-
When correctly installed with suitable paver thickness and pedestal spacing, the surface should feel solid and stable.
-
Compliance depends on the project design, loading requirements, and the specific pedestal system used. Engineering certification may be required for commercial applications.
-
Yes. Warranties are available for use under normal use and service conditions.
