ORIGIN pedestal

The Origin pedestal in detail

Its height is set to the millimeter by screwing, even after the slabs are laid, using an adjustment key. Laid without glue or grout, a terrace on pedestals stays removable and drains perfectly: water runs off through the joints, air circulates under the slabs and utility ducts pass beneath the surface.

Consider the slab support plate to spread the load under large formats, and the slope corrector if your substrate slopes. See the whole Yeed pedestal range.

Frequently asked questions

How can I build a terrace without foundations?

That is the point of pedestals: no concrete foundation is needed if the substrate is load-bearing and free-draining. On natural ground, the foundation is replaced by a bed of compacted gravel on geotextile; on an existing slab or tiles, you lay directly.

How long does it take to lay a terrace on pedestals?

Once the substrate is ready, allow about a day for 15 to 20 m² on your own. Adjusting YEED pedestals by hand and dry laying speed up the job.

How much does a terrace on YEED pedestals cost per m²?

YEED is positioned on the best value for money, making it an economical option for a porcelain stoneware terrace. Prices start at €6 per square meter with a fixed pedestal or €12.50 with an adjustable pedestal.

Is this pedestal compatible with 20 mm porcelain stoneware slabs?

Yes. This pedestal is sized to take 20 mm ceramic slabs, the standard format for terraces on pedestals, with tabs that ensure an even joint.

How many pedestals should you order?

The number depends on the size of your slabs and the area to cover: one pedestal goes at each corner and is shared by four slabs. Our quantity calculator gives you the total, safety margin included.

Can you adjust the height after installation?

Yes, an adjustment key lets you work through the joint between the slabs, without taking the terrace apart. It is handy for correcting a slight flatness defect afterwards.
