Buzon PB Spacer tabs are precision-engineered raised flooring components used to maintain uniform spacing and subsurface drainage in commercial outdoor environments. Manufactured from 80% recycled copolymer polypropylene (CPP), these 17mm high tabs provide mechanical fixity that prevents paver shifting while remaining resistant to sea salts, algae, and thermal extremes between -30°C to +80°C.
The tool-free, detachable design allows for instant on-site customization at perimeters and corners, ensuring a stable, aligned grid for granite, ceramic, or composite tiles.
Frequently asked questions
How do PB Spacer tabs prevent paver shifting in raised flooring?
PB Spacer tabs clip directly onto BUZON PB pedestals, providing a fixed point for each paver. This integrated system ensures consistent alignment and mechanically resists horizontal movement, maintaining a stable, uniform surface.
What paver thicknesses can Buzon PB Spacer tabs accommodate?
These tabs are available in six precise thicknesses: 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. This range allows for specific joint width requirements and customizable layouts in raised flooring systems.
Are Buzon PB Spacer tabs suitable for vehicular traffic areas?
No, PB Spacer tabs are designed and rated solely for pedestrian traffic applications. They are not suitable for areas subject to vehicular loads, vibrating machinery, or other heavy-duty equipment.
What are the temperature limits for these spacer tabs?
Buzon PB Spacer tabs are designed for outdoor use across a broad temperature range from -30°C to +80°C. This ensures stable performance in varied Australian climate conditions.

| Public walkways with grating panels | Maintains precise spacing and alignment for fiberglass or metal grating, crucial for safety and structural integrity. | Public works contractors, Steel fabricators |
How to Apply PB Spacer Tabs:
- Ensure the BUZON pedestal heads are clean and ready for installation.
- Clip the PB Spacer Tabs onto the pedestal heads – no tools required.
- Position the pavers on the pedestal, ensuring they align properly with the tabs.
- For custom configurations, remove unnecessary tabs to fit specific layouts.
- Confirm alignment and stability before finalizing the flooring setup.

Product limitations
- Not for: Vehicular traffic loads or areas with vibrating or heavy machinery. These tabs are engineered for pedestrian traffic only.
- System compatibility: These spacer tabs are designed to clip onto BUZON PB pedestals specifically. Compatibility with other pedestal systems is not assured.
- Installation: Stability relies on the proper installation of the underlying pedestal system and accurate paver placement.
Safety and handling
Storage and disposal
Store in original packaging, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain material integrity. Dispose of waste material according to local regulations for polypropylene plastics.
Compatible paver materials
Buzon PB Spacer tabs are designed to maintain spacing and alignment for a range of raised outdoor flooring materials when installed with Buzon PB pedestals. Proper preparation of the paver edges ensures a clean fit.
Granite stone pavers
Surface prep: Ensure paver edges are clean, free of dust, and undamaged to allow the spacer tab to align correctly. Check for consistent sizing.
Primer: Not required for spacer tab function.
Wood and composite tiles
Surface prep: Edges must be clean and free from splinters or loose material. Verify that tile dimensions are consistent to avoid irregular gaps.
Primer: Not required for spacer tab function.
Ceramic tiles
Surface prep: Clean tile edges to remove any manufacturing dust or cutting residue. Ensure tiles are true and free from chips that could affect alignment.
Primer: Not required for spacer tab function.
Fiberglass or metal grating panels
Surface prep: Edges should be clean and deburred, free from sharp points or loose fibres. Ensure panels are cut precisely for uniform spacing.
Primer: Not required for spacer tab function.
