Frequently Asked Questions

The most frequently asked questions to our experts

Can paving spacers be used for other types of terrace surface?

Yes, the terrace spacers are a multipurpose accessory. They can be used with different types of terrace surface, including ceramic paving, tiles and even timber decking boards. They ensure precise and consistent spacing, regardless of the material used.

What is the Cleman® / Easio® pedestal height extender used for?

The 60mm pedestal height extender is an accessory designed to increase the height of Cleman® and Easio® pedestals. It enables pedestal heights to be raised where necessary to create higher level terraces, and particularly paved terraces. Screwed into place between the pedestal flange and screw adjuster, the height extender ensures optimum structural stability.

Which types of modules and steps is the MODULESCA® connector kit compatible with?

The MODULESCA® connector kit is fully compatible with all MODULESCA® modules and steps. It can be used to connect two 20 cm modules together, connect a MODULESCA® step to a 20 cm module or or connect two MODULESCA® steps together.

What are Jouplast® breakable shims used for?

Jouplast® flat shims are thin spacers designed for low-height adjustments.

Their breakable design allows them to be divided into 2 or 4 pieces, effectively giving you 4 shims in 1. They also ensure proper ventilation for wooden structures, in compliance with the minimum spacing recommended by DTU 51.4 (3 mm between the decking board and the joist).

Extremely durable, they can withstand heavy loads without deforming (their compressive strength exceeds 2 tonnes).

What is the maximum load that our pedestals can support?

Jouplast® pedestals are designed to support heavy loads, with a crush test resistance of over 1 tonne per pedestal.

However, the load capacity of your slab terrace does not depend solely on the strength of the pedestals: it also depends on the type of slab used and its own mechanical strength.

Each material (porcelain stoneware, natural stone, etc.) has its own technical characteristics. It is therefore essential to consult your paving manufacturer’s recommendations to check their compatibility with installation on pedestals and their ability to withstand high point loads.

If your project involves the installation of heavy equipment (such as a spa, for example), we recommend that you opt for a reinforced structure system or provide a specific masonry support under the area concerned to ensure optimal load distribution.

Can composite decking rot?

No, composite has several properties that make it resistant to rot. The mixture of wood fibre and plastic makes the material rot-proof and therefore resistant to weathering and insect infestation.

What types of terraces are low-profile pedestals suitable for?

Jouplast® low-profile decking pedestals, such as the Essential Adjustable Pedestal 8 to 20 mm for slab terraces and the Essential Adjustable Pedestal 8 to 20 mm for joist installation, are specially designed for low-height terraces. They allow you to raise the terrace slightly without requiring major structural modifications.

Their innovative design makes them easy to install, saves time and guarantees optimal durability, while respecting the constraints of your project.

In addition to new constructions, these thin pedestals are ideal for renovating existing terraces, but also for landscaping small spaces and small terraces such as balconies and patios.

It is also possible to use these low-profile pedestals around your swimming pool if the height of the recess is low.
