Secure, level and stable support system for narrow plank style porcelain pavers on elevated roof decks and raised platforms
¾" thick porcelain pavers used on elevated decks require support at each corner and at intervals no greater than 24" along any side. With pavers less than 16" wide, a rail support system is generally preferred for lower pedestal cost and faster installation.
Eterno NM pedestals are placed over the substrate at 24" intervals in both directions.
Hollow steel rails are positioned on the head of the pedestals and locked in place with head caps.
Sliding head caps are placed along the steel rails to provide support and correct spacing at each corner of all porcelain planks not located on top of pedestal heads
Key Benefits of Rail Support Systems
increased stability
greater resistance to sideways movement of pavers
more flexibility to use pavers of different widths and lengths
less pedestals required with narrower plank style pavers
may avoid the need for perimeter containment
