Adjustable deck pedestals are the foundation of a raised deck system. The pedestals sit on the roof surface and support the roof pavers above. Pedestals have height adjustability that makes it possible to compensate for different elevations and slopes through the roof area.
2cm Porcelain deck pavers are one of the top materials used in floating decks. 2cm Porcelain tiles are perfect for pool decking and for rooftop hotel and resort patios. Elevated deck projects use 2cm 24 in. x 24 in. tiles, specially designed for pedestal deck applications.
Elevated deck planters and cubes add beauty, versatility, and functionality in rooftop deck designs. Deck cubes create intimate seating areas for social gatherings. Cubes can also create green spaces for rooftop gardens and hold the weight of large trees and green scapes. Combined with a pedestal deck system, deck cubes help create lush and eco-friendly spaces.
