Buzon PB-4 Adjustable Pedestal (145-245mm) is a structural support system for raised pedestrian flooring on commercial terraces, pool decks, and sloped rooftops. It features a 15.09 kN breaking load and a 7.6 kN compression test yield strength, providing high-density stability to prevent floor shifting under heavy foot traffic.
The Copolymer Polypropylene (CPP) composition ensures chemical resistance and integrates a 197mm base to maintain watertight integrity by distributing loads safely across waterproof membranes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Buzon PB-4 pedestal on a rooftop with a waterproof membrane?
Yes, the Buzon PB-4 is suitable for use on waterproof membranes. Its design provides stable support for raised flooring without direct adhesion, protecting the membrane from damage while allowing for drainage and access.
What is the maximum load a single Buzon PB-4 pedestal can support?
Each Buzon PB-4 pedestal is tested to a breaking load of 15.09 kN. This provides a clear margin for typical pedestrian traffic and static loads on raised terraces or pool decks.
Is the PB-4 pedestal suitable for areas with vehicle traffic?
No, the Buzon PB-4 pedestal is not suitable for vehicular traffic. Its design and load ratings are for pedestrian and static loads only. Using it under vehicles will lead to failure.

Application Guide
- Prepare a stable and solid substrate.
- Position pedestals according to the desired layout.
- Adjust the height using the screw mechanism.
- Place the finishing material securely on top.
For the installation guide on height adjustment from PB-0-S18 to PB-4 or from PB-3 to PB-4, please download the Installation Manual Height Adjustment.
Product limitations
- Not for: Supporting moving or vibrating machinery. The pedestal is designed for static and pedestrian loads.
- Not for: Areas subject to vehicular traffic. This includes driveways, carparks, or similar heavy load environments, which will lead to product failure.
Substrate guide
Proper substrate preparation ensures stability and longevity of your raised flooring system.
Concrete slabs
Surface prep: Ensure the concrete slab is clean, dry, and free of loose debris or contaminants. Address any major undulations if they exceed the pedestal's adjustment range for a stable base.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests on the surface.
Cement screeds
Surface prep: Confirm the screed is fully cured, clean, and dry. Remove any curing compounds, dust, or efflorescence before placement.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests on the surface.
Waterproof membranes
Surface prep: Ensure the membrane is clean, fully cured, and undamaged. The pedestal base spreads the load to protect the membrane. Always check the membrane manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility with pedestals.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests directly on the membrane surface.
Insulation panels
Surface prep: Confirm panels are securely laid, clean, and dry. The insulation must be robust enough to support the intended load without compression. Consult the insulation manufacturer's specifications.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests on the panel surface.
