Buzon U-WASHER Anti-Lifting Kit is a mechanical locking component designed to secure raised pavers against catastrophic wind uplift in high-exposure commercial rooftop and balcony environments. Fabricated from Stainless Steel 316 (V4A), it provides an E-Modul of 180,000 N/mm2 and an expansion coefficient of 16×10⁻⁶ 1/K to maintain structural rigidity and thermal stability under extreme temperature fluctuations.
This precision-engineered system integrates seamlessly with Buzon PB, DPH, and BC pedestal series through specific fixation kits, eliminating the risk of paver displacement or lifting during storm events while offering optional powder-coated finishes for a discreet architectural aesthetic.
