Porcelain Pavers and Buzon Pedestals
Buzon pedestals are versatile, providing solid support for various decking materials, including porcelain pavers. Porcelain pavers are a popular choice for pedestal-based systems. These pavers come in traditional square and rectangular shapes, with sizes ranging from 16×16 inches (40×40 cm) to 40×40 inches (100×100 cm). Porcelain pavers also vary in thickness. Outdoor-rated structural porcelain pavers are available in 3/4 inch (20 mm), 1 1/4 inches (30 mm), or even larger. In contrast, interior-rated porcelain pavers are only 10 mm thick, approximately 3/8 inch.
Recommended Pedestal Positioning for Porcelain Pavers
For the optimal performance of your porcelain paver installation, Buzon USA West offers specific recommendations based on the thickness of the pavers. Each guideline takes into account the load-bearing capacity of Buzon pedestals. Generally, a larger grid pattern is more efficient, reducing the number of pedestals required per square foot and simplifying the installation process.
Recommended Pedestal Positioning for Porcelain Pavers
These pedestal grid patterns show the most efficient layout for porcelain pavers. When working with 3cm or thicker porcelain pavers, you can eliminate the center pedestal, further streamlining your installation. Keep in mind that various sizes and layouts may be suitable for your project, even if they aren’t shown here.
