Adjustable Plastic Pedestal: Comprehensive Guide to Features, Applications, Installation & Advantages

Adjustable Plastic Pedestal, commonly known as "Adjustable Base" or "Adjustable Elevated Base" abroad, has been widely used in Europe and America since the 1980s and is now an innovative building product.

Tools/Materials

 - Material: High-density polypropylene (PP)    

- Core Features: High strength, aging resistance, long service life, strong weather resistance, unaffected by cold, heat, moisture, with a service life of over 25 years.

 Application Scenarios

Suitable for wooden terrace construction, flooring installation, landscape engineering, water feature creation, deck docks, garden rooftops, still water surfaces, fountains (jet fountains, dry fountains), anti-corrosion wood installation, grid permeable board overhead, sky gardens, atrium landscapes & terraces, interactive water dance fountains, roof insulation, etc.

 Components & Functions

1. Support Head: Fixed on the base or connecting pipe, compatible with keel brackets and various floors, supporting 0-5% slope drainage.

2. Connecting Pipe: Internal and external thread structure for free height adjustment; scale labels ensure safety and stability.

3. Base Plate: Can be positioned/fixed on any substrate, with multiple fixing holes for anchoring screws/bolts, ensuring safety and stability.

4. Spacer Strip: Thickness 2/3.5/5/8/10mm, breakable, adjusts stone gaps (conventional 5mm), facilitates drainage and enhances aesthetics.

5. Gasket: Thickness 1/2mm, cuttable, adjusts uneven stone thickness to ensure flatness and buffers impact between stones and pedestals.

6. Keel Slot: Width 40mm/50mm/60mm/80mm, suitable for different keel needs.

7. Fixing Ring: Reversely locks the pedestal, improves load-bearing capacity, especially effective in sandy environments.

8. Core Advantages: Fully adjustable height, load-bearing over 2 tons, 100% recyclable modified PP material, compatible with marble, granite, wood decks, tiles, drainage grilles, etc.; easy assembly, strong durability, convenient pipeline installation/maintenance, good insulation, no frozen layer issues.

 Usage Advantages

1. Excellent hiding of pipes and equipment; 2. Significantly reduces building load, substantially lowering structural costs; 3. Easy leveling and installation; 4. Rapid drainage; 5. Good thermal insulation; 6. Effectively solves water stains and efflorescence; 7. Excellent sound insulation; 8. Fast installation speed; 9. Environmentally friendly; 10. Applicable to any floor material; 11. Adapts to sudden design changes; 12. Construction unaffected by weather; 13. Reduces long-term maintenance costs; 14. Lowers cleaning, replacement and major renovation expenses; 15. Facilitates pipeline configuration and maintenance.

 Installation Methods & Notes

1. Installation Method: Install supports corresponding to each floor slab (4 for the first slab, 2 for subsequent slabs) and lay them one by one until complete; Do NOT fix all supports first before laying stone floors (incorrect).

2. Fixing Method: Pour the pedestal base on the ground with cement mortar to avoid damaging the waterproof layer.

3. Installation Notes: ① The pedestal bears load via threads; ensure at least 3-4 threads engage when adjusting height, avoiding uneven tightness; ② After adjusting height, tighten the green fixing ring downward in the reverse direction to prevent wobbling.
