Standard 5-Step Installation
Follow these best practices to ensure a level, stable, and durable raised floor using Taurus Pedestals.
Substrate Preparation
Ensure the base surface (concrete slab, waterproofing membrane, or compacted ground) is clean, solid, and free of debris. Identify the drainage slopes and determine the starting point (usually the highest or lowest corner).
Grid Layout & Spacing
Mark the layout grid based on the dimensions of your pavers or the required span of your joists. Place the TA Series pedestals roughly in position at the grid intersections.
Height & Slope Adjustment
Adjust the slope corrector at the base (if applicable) to compensate for the ground fall. Turn the threaded central collar of the pedestal to reach the exact desired finished floor height. Check with a laser or spirit level.
Placing Pavers or Joists
For paving: Attach the spacer tabs to the pedestal head and gently place the pavers onto the heads. For decking: Attach the joist cradle, place your joists, and screw them securely into the side walls of the cradle.
Edge Detailing & Finishing
Use specialized top and bottom edge clips (perimeter clips) to close off the exposed edges of the raised floor using vertical paver cut-offs. Ensure a gap of at least 5mm from the perimeter walls for expansion.
