Why choose SOLIDOR terrace pedestals?
At SOLIDOR, we understand the importance of creating a stable, durable, and aesthetically pleasing terrace. Our terrace pedestals are specifically designed to meet the highest standards, regardless of the type of project. Here are eight reasons why SOLIDOR is the best choice for supporting your terrace:
1. Sustainability
Choosing a terrace with pedestals contributes to sustainability. SOLIDOR's adjustable terrace pedestals are made from 98% recycled plastics, minimizing environmental impact. The production process generates zero waste, and the pedestals can be reused. Follow this page to learn how SOLIDOR is playing its part in creating a sustainable world.
2. Open joints
Terraces constructed on adjustable terrace pedestals can be placed on different substrates, except for sandy soil. The use of terrace pedestals results in open joints between the tiles. At SOLIDOR, for tiled terraces we offer three joint widths: 2 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm. Depending on the joint width, water can easily drain off the terrace and into the open joints. This prevents issues that might occur in traditional concrete-tiled terraces, such as cracks forming in the joints due to frozen water, thereby extending the lifespan of your terrace. Furthermore, with a terrace laid on adjustable terrace pedestals, it's possible to readjust the supports as needed, ensuring the desired stability is maintained.
3. Recognition
At SOLIDOR, we take pride in the recognition we've received for our innovative products. For instance, our Sticksol and CPV+ top plate were awarded the prestigious BTP Award. This recognition underscores our commitment to quality and innovation. Additionally, we continuously test all our products to ensure they meet the highest standards of durability and functionality.
4. Wiring or pipes easily installed beneath the terrace
A terrace supported by adjustable terrace pedestals provides ample space underneath the tiles or wooden/composite planks. This open space makes it easy to install wiring or pipes beneath the terrace without damaging them, and with convenient access whenever necessary.
5. Easy installation and adjustment
Adjustable terrace pedestals are straightforward to install and customize. They are modular, allowing for easy height adjustments. Additionally, they can correct uneven surfaces through their slope correctors, simplifying the terrace laying process.
Moreover, dismantling the terrace and reusing the adjustable terrace pedestals is simple. Installation videos are always available on our website for further guidance.
6. Versatility and Applications
With adjustable terrace pedestals, it's possible to construct the terrace at various heights above the screed, offering several advantages. Firstly, these pedestals can be used to level differences and even create a terrace on a slope. In such scenarios, the slope correctors from our range serve as the perfect complement. Furthermore, our adjustable terrace pedestals ensure a seamless transition between outdoor and indoor flooring, significantly enhancing the sense of space and making the terrace more accessible for the elderly and wheelchair users.
An additional advantage of working with SOLIDOR adjustable terrace pedestals is the ability to install terraces year-round, regardless of the weather. Unlike traditional methods like screed and adhesive, the pedestals can be placed even during wet months. This unprecedented flexibility allows for the execution of the terrace project at any desired time, without being dependent on weather conditions.
7. Protection of the substrate
Terrace pedestals ensure the preservation of the underlying substrate, such as roofing or a waterproof layer. The terrace is placed on top of the terrace pedestals, thus avoiding direct contact with the substrate. Any loads, such as the weight of the terrace and its occupants, are evenly distributed across the terrace pedestals. This prevents the terrace from exerting direct pressure on the substrate, which could potentially cause damage. Additionally, terrace pedestals serve as a lightweight alternative to using screed, reducing the overall weight of your construction.
