Buzon PB-6 Adjustable Pedestal (285-367mm) is a modular height-adjustment system engineered for raised pedestrian flooring in commercial rooftop and coastal terrace applications. Manufactured from Copolymer Polypropylene (CPP) with 80% recycled content, it delivers a 10.38 kN compression strength to support heavy stone or porcelain pavers without compromising waterproof membranes or insulation layers.
This ISO 472:2013 compliant solution remains structurally stable in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +80°C while resisting sea salts, algae, and industrial chemicals.
Frequently asked questions
What applications are suitable for the Buzon PB-6 pedestal?
The PB-6 pedestal is suited for raised decking and paving systems that only experience pedestrian traffic. This includes rooftop patios, pool decks, outdoor terraces, and public landscaping areas.
What is the maximum load capacity for a Buzon PB-6 pedestal?
A single PB-6 pedestal provides a compression strength of 10.38 kN (1038 kg) when load is applied to the full surface. This supports stable, level surfaces for pedestrian use.
Is the Buzon PB-6 pedestal resistant to harsh outdoor conditions?
Yes, the PB-6 is made from copolymer polypropylene and offers resistance to weather, sea salts, algae, and a wide range of chemicals. It performs reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +80°C.
Can I use the PB-6 pedestal for supporting vehicular traffic?
No, the Buzon PB-6 pedestal is strictly designed for pedestrian traffic only. It is not suitable for vehicular loads or supporting moving machinery.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Raised decking systems (residential and commercial) | Creates a stable, level surface over uneven sub-bases, ensuring a durable finish. | Landscapers, Builders |
| Pool decks and outdoor terraces | Facilitates efficient water drainage and allows for easy inspection and maintenance of services beneath. | Waterproofers, Landscapers |
| Rooftop flooring solutions | Protects underlying waterproofing membranes from damage while creating usable external spaces. | Waterproofers, Builders |
| Landscaping and urban public spaces | Offers precise height adjustment to accommodate varied terrain and achieve consistent surface levels. | Landscapers, Civil Contractors |
Application Guide
- Ensure the substrate is stable and level before installation.
- Place the PB-6 pedestal on the designated surface.
- Adjust the height using the PB-C1 coupler.
- Secure the desired finishing material (decking, tiles, or pavers).
- Verify the level and stability of the final installation.
For detailed manual instructions, please download the Installation Manual PB-6.
Product limitations
- Not for: Vehicular loads. The PB-6 is designed solely for pedestrian traffic areas.
- Not for: Moving or vibrating machinery. These loads can compromise the stability and integrity of the pedestal system.
Safety and handling
Storage and disposal
Store in a dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The product has an indefinite shelf life under correct storage conditions. Dispose of according to local waste regulations.
Substrate guide
Proper preparation of the underlying substrate ensures a stable foundation for the pedestal system, preventing future issues with the raised surface.
Concrete slabs and cement screeds
Surface prep: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, oils, or contaminants. Minor unevenness is acceptable, as the pedestal provides height adjustment.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal is placed directly onto the prepared substrate.
Waterproof membranes
Surface prep: Verify the membrane is fully cured, undamaged, and clean. Protect the membrane from direct contact with the pedestal base if required by the membrane manufacturer.
Primer: Not required. Pedestals are designed to sit directly on the membrane, protecting it while allowing drainage.
Insulation panels
Surface prep: Confirm panels are securely installed, level, and capable of supporting the specified loads without excessive compression. Ensure panels are clean and dry.
Primer: Not required. The pedestal rests on the insulation layer.
