Buzon PB-10 Adjustable Pedestal (675-830mm) is a modular copolymer polypropylene (CPP) system engineered for high-clearance raised flooring in commercial rooftop and terrace environments. using a structural assembly of PB-C1 and PB-C2 couplers, it bridges deep structural voids while maintaining a 10.32 kN yield strength to ensure long-term stability for heavy stone or timber surfaces.
This salt-resistant solution integrates with U-PH5 slope correctors to provide millimetre-precise leveling on gradients up to 5% while protecting sensitive waterproof membranes. Installation must occur on stable, compacted substrates to prevent shifting, with strict adherence to the 510kg breaking load limit to avoid catastrophic failure.
Frequently asked questions
What applications suit the Buzon PB-10 pedestal?
The PB-10 pedestal is for high-clearance raised flooring applications from 675mm to 830mm. It supports outdoor areas like terraces, balconies, rooftop installations, pool decks, and landscaping projects, creating a stable, level surface over uneven ground or existing structures.
What is the load capacity of the PB-10 pedestal?
Each PB-10 pedestal can support up to 1032kg. This capacity is critical for ensuring long-term stability and safety, especially in high-traffic areas or commercial installations where flooring integrity is paramount.
Can this pedestal handle sloped surfaces?
Yes, the PB-10 is compatible with the U-PH5 slope corrector. This accessory allows for adjustments of up to 5%, ensuring a perfectly level finish even on significantly sloped underlying substrates.
Is the Buzon PB-10 resistant to environmental factors?
The PB-10 is made from copolymer polypropylene, providing resistance to weather, salts, and chemicals. It maintains structural integrity across temperatures from -30°C to +80°C, ensuring durability in harsh outdoor conditions.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| High-level outdoor terraces and balconies | Achieves precise levels across elevations from 675mm to 830mm, supporting ceramic tiles, stone pavers, or timber decking with over 1 tonne load capacity per pedestal. | Builders, Landscapers, Tilers |
| Rooftop installations | Creates ventilated voids for drainage and services, protecting the membrane while providing a durable, accessible surface resistant to thermal cycling from -30°C to +80°C. | Roofers, Commercial Builders |
| Pool decks and landscape features | Resistant to salt and chemicals, ensuring long-term stability and appearance in harsh environments where other materials may degrade. | Landscapers, Pool Builders |
Application Guide
- Prepare the substrate, ensuring a stable base.
- Assemble the pedestal using PB-4-BASE, PB-C1, PB-C2, and PB-4-TOP components.
- Adjust the height according to the flooring requirements.
- Place the surface material on top and secure as needed.

Product limitations
- Not for: Structural loads exceeding 1032kg per pedestal. Exceeding this rating risks failure and instability of the raised flooring system.
- Requirement: Must be installed on a stable, even, and compacted underlying surface. Installation on unstable or unconsolidated substrates will compromise the system's integrity and lead to uneven or failing surfaces.
Substrate guide
Proper substrate preparation is essential for the long-term stability and performance of any raised flooring system supported by pedestals.
Concrete slabs
Surface prep: Ensure the concrete slab is structurally sound, level, and free of debris, oils, or loose material. Any significant cracks or unevenness should be repaired or levelled before installation.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests directly on the prepared concrete surface.
Compacted soil
Surface prep: The soil must be thoroughly compacted and stable to prevent future settling. A geofabric layer and/or a granular base may be necessary to ensure a firm, even foundation.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests directly on the compacted soil or base layer.
Waterproof membranes
Surface prep: The membrane must be clean, intact, and properly installed to manufacturer specifications. Ensure the membrane can withstand the localised pressure from the pedestal base without puncture or damage. Protection pads may be required under the pedestals.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests directly on the membrane surface.
Insulation panels
Surface prep: Insulation panels must be rigid enough to support the pedestal's load without compression. Ensure panels are securely laid and provide a stable, continuous surface. Verify compatibility with the insulation manufacturer.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests directly on the insulation panels.
