Buzon PB-2 Adjustable Pedestal (60-90mm) provides a structurally stable raised flooring solution for rooftop terraces, pool decks, and public pedestrian spaces. Engineered from industrial-grade copolymer polypropylene (CPP), this modular system achieves precise millimeter-perfect height control while maintaining a 16.73 kN compression load capacity to prevent point-loading failure under heavy stone or ceramic pavers.
The system maintains watertight integrity by protecting underlying membranes while facilitating rapid drainage, and when paired with the U-PH5 slope corrector, it provides 0-5% adjustment to compensate for complex substrate pitches.
Frequently asked questions
What substrates can the Buzon PB-2 pedestal be installed over?
The PB-2 pedestal can be installed over stable concrete slabs, cement screeds, waterproof membranes, and insulation panels. It provides a secure, level base for raised flooring systems above these surfaces.
What is the load capacity of a Buzon PB-2 pedestal?
The PB-2 pedestal supports a compression load of 16.73 kN (1673 kg) when the load is evenly distributed across its full surface. Partial loading reduces this capacity to 9.48 kN for half surface and 5.25 kN for quarter surface loading.
Can the PB-2 pedestal be used with heavy vibrating equipment or vehicles?
No, the Buzon PB-2 pedestal is not designed for use under heavy vibrating machinery or vehicles. It is intended for pedestrian traffic areas and static loads only.
Does the PB-2 pedestal resist outdoor elements and chemicals?
Yes, the PB-2 pedestal resists weathering, UV exposure, sea salts, algae, and many common chemicals. It maintains performance across a temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor terraces | Enables fast installation of raised pavers or decking with integrated drainage, protecting underlying structures. | Landscapers, Builders |
| Rooftop landscapes | Protects waterproofing membranes and creates a level surface over sloped roofs, allowing easy access to services. | Waterproofers, Architects, Landscapers |
| Pool decks | Resists sea salts and pool chemicals, preventing water pooling and providing a stable, durable surface for foot traffic. | Pool Builders, Landscapers |
| Public space flooring | Offers high load capacity and environmental resistance, ensuring long-term stability and safety in high-traffic pedestrian areas. | Civil Contractors, Urban Planners |
Application Guide
- Prepare a stable, level substrate
- Place Buzon PB-2 pedestals at appropriate intervals
- Adjust height as required
- Install finishing material on top (e.g., pavers, decking)
- Fine-tune leveling using U-PH5 slope corrector if needed

Product limitations
- Not for: Use with heavy vibrating machinery or vehicles. This pedestal is designed for pedestrian traffic and static loads.
- Not for: Direct contact with highly acidic chemicals. Exposure to strong acids may compromise material integrity.
Safety and handling
Storage and disposal
Store in a dry, covered area away from direct sunlight to maintain material properties. Dispose of in accordance with local waste regulations for plastic materials.
Substrate guide
Proper preparation of the underlying substrate ensures stability and longevity of the raised flooring system.
Concrete slabs, cement screeds, waterproof membranes, insulation panels
Surface prep: Ensure the surface is clean, stable, dry, and free from loose debris. Address any significant imperfections to provide a consistent base for the pedestals.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal is placed directly onto the prepared substrate.
