long aluminium or steel profile (min. 3 m length)
1) Allows for easy & quick verification of level
2) Allows for fast pre-setting of height of the pedestals
SHARPLY increases installation performance!

1. Use the bull eye level to check the direction of the slope. Using a chalk, mark the direction of the slope on the ground with an arrow.
Correct Use of PH5 Slope Compensation Device (0 to 5%)
2. Use the digital level to check the gradient of the slope, and clearly mark the gradient % on the substrate or floor.
3. Rotate the head of the pedestal (1), to match the gradient of the slope. The gradient to be set is visible in the window (2). The direction of the slope is giving by arrows (3) for each value of the gradient.
The spacer tabs (4) are made so they can freely rotate.
7
4. Set the gradient by rotating the head of the PH5 slope corrector. Here, example of 3% is shown.
Correct Use of PH5 Slope Compensation Device
5. Place the pedestal under the corner of the tile, with the
direction of the arrow pointing into the direction of the slope.
6. The tiles should then be flat, 0% level in all directions.
DPH0 to DPH3 : the PH5 is clipped on top of pedestal DPH4 & DPH5 : PH5 is standard integrated in head of pedestal DPH0 to DPH3
8
In general, one shim leveller per pedestal. Additional shim levellers are used extra to compensate for different thicknesses of the tiles.
Double function : shock absorber and compensation for different thicknesses of the tiles!
Buzon Shim Levellers : E10 (1 mm) & E20 (2 mm)
To create smooth and level surface on top of decking, compensating for minor
differences in thickness of the tiles
Extra shims are placed under the already
placed shim
9
In order to adjust the height of the pedestal, the DPH5 pedestal is equipped with a ring between the HEAD and the BASE.
Before starting, the ring should be ALWAYS be positioned in the center BETWEEN head and base, meaning, the same number of rings should be visible above the ring, as below the ring.
Turn the ring for easy and quick height adjustment
No need to switch base or head, ONLY the ring to adjust height
Start Position of DPH5

In order to insert an extra coupler to increase the height of the pedestal, the safety blocking system should first be released.
Extending the height over 170 mm with C2 coupler
1) Adjust the head to highest position and adjust ring so you can see the hole
2) Insert nail/pin to release the safety blocking system
3) Release head4) Insert coupler
and head
5) Use extra couplers to further extend the height
11
Available in different thicknesses.
allows easy alignment of pavers and increases drainage performance of decking
Multifunctional Spacer Tabs : A2 (2mm), A4 (4.5 mm), A6 (6mm), A10 (10mm)Near Walls or Vertical UpstandsBreak off the two pre-cut tabs to support pavers near wals or vertical upstands.
Near CornersRemove the spacer tab from the pedestal head.
Special Applications (small cuts, etc.)Use pliers to break off all 4 tabs, and re-use 2 tabs. Use adhesive to fix the 2 tabs to the tile.

Job Preparation : Inspection & Preparation of Surface & Tiles/Decking Material
The surface/substrate shall be :
1) free of dust, dirt, waste, etc...
2) flat and smooth in surface ….
3) Stable and solid
The Tiles shall be PRECISE and UNIFORM in size
14
Job Preparation : Architect to confirm layout, position and height of the decking
POSITION OF FIRST TILE
15
Job Preparation : use mason’s wire to set out and mark FIRST LINE and 90°PERPENDICULAR LINE
Every 2 to 3 meter, on the substrate, mark slope direction and gradient %using chalk and digital leveller
16
Job Preparation : further preparation of the grid
Marking grid lines on the substrate will allow for faster application of the terrace. Distance between the grid lines, depends on the dimensions of the pavers used
17
Starting first with 3 pedestals for laying of first tile/paver
1) Check slope & direction of substrate
4) Insert spacer tab
5) Place shim leveller on spacer tab
2) set PH5 slope correction device
3) Check with leveller whether head of pedestals are at same height and level (0%)

5) Check level and balance of tile

After installation of each tile, kick stamp with foot the tile and pedestals to tighten up and better align the line of tiles

22
Verification with Starting Point as confirmed by architect
23
From STARTING POINT, start with first line
1) Use guiding rope/wire to allow proper alignment of the tiles
2) Use the long aluminium profile (3 to 4 m) to easily adjust the height of the pedestals.
Placing the long profile on the first pedestal, it will allow easy and fast presetting of the
first line of pedestals
‘SP’ = Starting Point
24
Execution of second line, perpendicular to first line
1) Continously verify the perpendicularity using rule of pythagoras (3m – 4m – 5m) or (6m – 8m – 10m).
Kick stamp with foot after each tile
2) Use long profile to check level
25
Extension into opposite first line
26
Filling up with pedestals and tiles
Continously checking the position and flatness of pedestals and tiles
27
For larger projects, work with T-line at intervals of approx. every 10 m
Continouslychecking level of
pedestal head and tiles
28
Filling up the T’s
29
DPH5 pedestal can be switched upside down to obtain larger surface on top
1) At vertical upstands or corners
2) For better support and stability of smaller tiles/cuttings
Base Diameter : 205 mm
30
Do not hesitate to use extra pedestals when needed
As an additional extra support in the center of larger sized
tiles/pavers
For better stability of smaller tiles or
cuttings
5th pedestal – tile size 100 x 100 cm

31
Pedestals can be cut when needed
32
Cuttings & smaller tiles (Optimal Solution – Use of larger sized tiles)Method 1) : Use large tiles and make groove for creating illusion of 2 separate tiles. This for better stability of smaller tiles and for proper allignment
standard tile + small cut tile
take larger sized tile
larger sized tile + groove (same width as spacer tab)
Inverted pedestal
33
Fixation of smaller tiles/cuts (connection with plug/pin)Method 2) : Connection using plug and pin system
GOAL : ALWAYS maintaining the width of the open joint between the tiles (spacer tabs!)
re-used spacer tab

Fixation of smaller tiles/cuts (connection with plug/pin)Method 3) : Connection using plug and pin system (remaining easily accessible for maintenance)
Always maintaining the width of the open joint between the tiles (spacer tabs!)

35
Fixation of smaller tiles/cuts (high quality adhesive)Method 4) : Use high quality adhesive (ex. SIKA FC11) to lock small tile cuttings to larger tiles

Different materials, different thicknesses, different sizes can be used

Wood & Timber Decking (DPH batten holder for ALL types of Timber Decking)
Lock timber batten in batten holder with screws
(batten width = 65 mm)
Lock DPH batten holder on pedestal with locking pin &
holder plug
Fix slates to batten
38
Rules of thumb – practical guidelines
Pedestals should always be placed on STABLE and EVEN & SMOOTH surface
inspection & preparation of surface
Check whether pedestal is standing stable and firm on substrate
if needed, use levellingcement to stabilise pedestal on uneven surface
NEVER USE WEDGE UNDER PEDESTAL!
If height is not enough, use extra coupler (in case alternative is used, make sure it is BIGGER in surface than the base diameter)
39
Fix tiles at perimeter of decking/terrace with limited or no supporting border
“Tiles have moved at border without proper support of vertical upstand”
Always try to fix tiles and/or pedestals at perimeter border of terrace
Example of terrace with no proper border support – at right future roof garden
Example on bitumen waterproofing : if needed, to increase adhesion of adhesive, abrade membrane surface with burner
Fix pedestal to substrate using adhesive (example : ‘roofseal’ for bitumen membranes, SIKA 11FC for concrete surface)
Use enough adhesive so it enters the base and locks the base to substrate when hardening up
Install tile and fix tiles with screws to pedestals (or with proper adhesive)
40
Small tiles/cuttings need proper alignment measures
“Small tiles or tiles of irregular shape have ‘moved’ “ These problems can be easily avoided by :
Correct use of spacer tabs
Follow correct procedures to work with small tiles (optimal solution see page 32, method 1, and following pages)
Follow correct procedures to properly align and fix small tiles
in principle : ALWAYS try to avoid small tile cuttings by using larger tiles
