Product info

The Wallbarn Mega Balance Self-Levelling Pedestal is a 4-in-1, heavy duty, superior quality, fully adjustable height pedestal for paving and decking jobs. Available in a huge height range (from 25mm to 1025mm), the self-levelling headpiece can support and position both paving slabs and tiles as well as joists and bearers for decking applications, accommodating differences in the deck surface below the pedestal.

Able to tolerate over 2 tonnes (2,057kg) in weight per unit, the headpiece of this pedestal is self-levelling as standard but, by using the “grey nut”, the head can be locked rigid within the same unit. The telescopic thread gives a large height range per unit; simply twist the stem to adjust the height of the unit, which can be achieved with slab / tile or decking joist still in place. This is a suspended system so the weight of the paving slabs / tiles ballast themselves.

Made from injection moulded polypropylene, without fillers for long-term durability and performance, the construction has also been laboratory tested at -40°C to +75°C and will not shatter in sub-zero temperatures. The plastic polymer is non-hazardous and fully recyclable. 

This pedestal offers the following benefits & features for paving and decking:

  • Suitable for paving slabs and timber decking
  • Achieve stunning finishes
  • Suspended system
  • Fully adjustable
  • Top key system for in-situ adjustments
  • Superior quality
  • Compatible with cross-rail system for additional support
  • Self-levelling and fixed-height in the same pedestal
  • Available in heights from 25mm up to 1025mm
  • Maximum load: 20,713 N = 2,057kg
  • Self-levelling headpiece: Up to 5% in all directions
  • Material: 20% recycled Polypropylene
  • Size: Diameter of head piece: 150mm x Diameter of screw: 140mm x Diameter of base: 200mm x Lug Height: 10mm x Lug Width: 4mm
  • Fire classification: Classified as EUROCLASS E according to EN 13501:1:2009

For Paving Applications

  • Self-levelling headpiece incorporates 4mm x 4mm wide positioning lugs (fins) integrated on the headpiece.
    • Simply lay the paving slab / tile onto one segment of headpiece so four corners of slab / tiles rest on each headpiece; and four pedestals support each corner of a slab / tile.
    • The lugs (fins) separate paving slabs / tiles on the headpiece to allow sufficient drainage between and below slabs / tiles.
    • This creates a uniform paving line for the slabs / tiles.
  • A unique feature of Mega Balance is the ability to alter the heights after completion of paving project.
    • If any tiles start to rock or the pedestals move slightly over time after completion of the project, the special “yellow key” or “silver key” tool can be used to slot into a slot in the centre of the headpiece and twisted to turn the stem and adjust the height of the pedestal with the slab / tile in situ. This is labour saving and improves health and safety.
    • The lug width is 4mm as standard to allow enough room for the key to fit into the slot.
  • The headpiece is self-levelling and moves up to 5% or 2.86° in all directions. The “grey nut” can be pressed into the centre of the headpiece to lock the self-levelling mechanism, should installers require fixed heads. 
    • Mega Balance is therefore both self-levelling and fixed head in the same pedestal.
  • An integrated rubber anti-shock pad is supplied as standard for the headpiece. It clicks into place to give a better grip to the slab / tile and improves vibration and noise insulation. 
  • There are cut lines on the underside of the base plates should installers need to pave directly up to walls / parapets. Do not cut bases beyond these cut lines.

For Decking Applications

  • The four positioning lugs on the self-levelling headpiece are set 55mm apart so a 50mm wide joist / bearer enough can be loose laid between them easily.
    • The joist is loose laid rather than mechanically fixed in case of expansion / movement differences between structure beneath and the decking over time.
    • The lugs are high enough to house the joists securely.
    • This gives flexibility to the decking project.
  • The joists / bearers should be cross fitted together to form a secure framework. The upper surface decking boards will be mechanically fixed to the joist frame according to the specification and assembly instructions of the deckboard supplier. 
  • There is no need to cut furrings as the pedestals are adjusted in height to create a flat frame level. This speeds up installation immensely. 
  • The headpiece is self-levelling as standard. Installers may or may not wish to click the grey nut into the headpiece to lock the head, depending on the characteristics of the decking project.
  • The integrated rubber anti-shock pad provides greater grip and sound / vibration insulation to the decking project.

Please note the adjustment key is sold separately code SP-MEG-BAL-KEY-Z

This section is split into two parts, with advice about Wallbarn's pedestals range, as well as their green roof offering.

Pedestals

What are the advantages of pedestals?

They are quick and easy to install, offer improved drainage, protect the surface underneath and can be lifted at any time for maintenance.

How do I install them?

The pedestals are placed on a flat, hard surface, with no mechanical fixings required. They need to be placed on a structured surface, and shouldn't be placed on non-compacted earth.

Do they need to be fastened?

No, the pedestals are part of a suspended system, with the weight of the slabs/decking holding everything in place.

Green Roof

What is a green roof / modular roof?

Sedum or other succulent plants are grown in low-level substrates. Modular systems are grown in sections and can be lifted into place and joined together.

Do they need maintenance?

The plants are very hardy, but watering in extreme conditions is recommended. Dead leaves and vegetation should be removed at regular intervals, and a slow-release fertiliser can be applied at certain periods throughout the year.
