- Suitable for any project
- Accessories for a perfect result
- Practical, simple and intuitive products
Easy to use:
- They can be placed on the floor without any specific fixtures or supports.
- They are adjustable to the millimeter : the adjustment is done manually, without any additional tool, thanks to the adjustment ring on the central threaded rod.
- They represent a considerable saving of time and money insofar as no structural work (and consequently expensive labor) is involved… Installation on pedestals is intuitive and easy to achieve.
- It is also an ecological and sustainable solution because it can be installed on an existing floor (reuse of old supports such as tiles or joists). The adjustable pedestals, being removable, also allow the restructuring of the terrace and the changes of coverings over the years. In short, these products can be adapted over time to any type of renovation or new project.
- Aesthetic space saving : thanks to the installation on blocks, it is possible to run cables or pipes directly under the raised floor. It is therefore a perfect solution for aesthetically concealing all lighting, plumbing and electrical systems.
