Lay pavers directly over concrete slabs using stackable rubber support pads.
Solid rubber construction offers superior sound absorption, enhanced shock protection and much greater slip resistance between both pavers and pads and pads and concrete, than plastic pads.
Inbuilt spacer tabs ensure quick and easy installation and guarantee accurate spacing and alignment of the pavers. Unwanted tabs can be easily removed with a sharp knife.
Stack ¼" (ETE-PAD6) and 3/8" (ETE-PAD10) rubber pads to build the support height across a sloping surface, to a max. height of approx. 1 ½".
Thin 1/16" shims (ETE-LGH3) can be employed for micro height adjustments either to correct for slight variations in the thickness of the pavers or to eliminate any rocking of the pavers.
If required, slope compensation twist rings can be placed over the pads to ensure a perfectly level surface on the pads, although this is not normally required for most low height installations.
For elevations beyond 1" – 1 ½", switch to Eterno adjustable height pedestals with their soft rubber heads, inbuilt spacer tabs and incremental height adjustment from 1" to 30" or more.
Key Benefits of Rubber Support Pads
minimal surface preparation
faster and easier installation
perfectly horizontal surfaces
no cracking/lifting of tiles due to water penetration
rapid draining of water – no pooling
