The AWS™
Pedestal System is an interlocking pedestal support used
to level pavers and other natural products appropriate for
elevated foot traffic as applied to a pitched deck or roofing
membrane. It turns difficult slopes into level surfaces and
allows utilities and drains to be run under the pavers, natural
stone, or other manufactured products, transforming to usable
spaces those which might otherwise not be. Water can move
freely to allow for the health and long life of a roofing
membrane.
Units of the
AWS™ Pedestal System with a smooth, flanged, bottom
cap can be used applied directly to a roofing membrane using the
bottom cap with or without a bottom shim (1/16” or 1/8”). All
pieces of the AWS™ Pedestal System are ABS and
benignly designed to be membrane friendly.
The AWS™
Pedestal System has been compression tested to withstand
loads of 14,250 lbs PSI (at 2”), 13,650 lbs PSI (at 6”), and
12,550 lbs PSI (at 15”) when used with an SDR35, Schedule 3034
PVC pipe central component 4" OD.
The AWS™
Pedestal System is compatible with applications of built
up waterproof membrane, and single ply membranes, rubberized
asphalt (with protection or insulation board as a barrier), also
the new PVC “breathable” membrane. Bituminous waterproofing
membranes are subject to softening at high temperatures, and a
protection board or AWS™ Pedestal System's "Buffer
Pad" (1/16" x 7" diameter) is here recommended. |
