For outdoor raised floors on terraces, pool decks, water features, landscape areas, and rooftops, the Buzon DPH-5 Adjustable Pedestal (100-175mm) provides stable, level support over sloping or irregular substrates. Featuring an integrated slope corrector in the head, this three-piece system compensates for falls from 0% to 5% in 0.5% intervals, eliminating the need for separate slope-correcting shims beneath the base.
What it does
The DPH-5 supports external finishing materials—including granite stone pavers, ceramic tiles, timber or composite decking, and fibreglass or metal grating—directly over concrete slabs, cement screeds, waterproof membranes, and insulation panels. Made from copolymer polypropylene containing approximately 80% recycled material and 20% talc, the pedestal withstands weathering, sea salts, algae, and a wide range of chemicals in exposed environments. The broad 200 mm base distributes the load across 314 cm² to protect delicate waterproofing membranes and insulation boards from puncture or compression failure.
Numbers that matter
- 100 to 175 mm height adjustment: Continuous, screw-jack elevation range to clear services, pipework, and varying threshold levels.
- 0% to 5% integrated slope correction: Built-in PH5 head mechanism to correct fall in 0.5% increments, ensuring a perfectly level finish on sloped roof decks.
- 10 kN (1,000 kg) full-surface yield strength: The threshold where the copolymer polypropylene stops deforming elastically (tested to ISO 472:2013 on the full surface at 175 mm height).
- 16.4 kN (1,640 kg) full-surface breaking load: Ultimate structural limit under vertical compression at maximum extension.
- -30°C to +80°C temperature range: Thermal limits that maintain load-bearing structural integrity through freeze-thaw cycles and intense solar heat on exposed rooftops.
Limitations
Buzon pedestals are designed to support external raised floors for pedestrian traffic only. They are not designed to support and must not be subjected to moving or vibrating machinery, cleaning and maintenance vehicles, automobiles, or similar heavy mechanical equipment.
System components and accessories
The DPH-5 system is supplied as a complete assembly containing the pedestal, the integrated PH5 slope corrector, and 4 locking keys. The following accessories are available separately to match specific finishing materials:
- Spacer Tabs: Available in 17 mm height (3 and 4.5 mm thickness) and 25 mm height (2, 4.5, 6, 8, and 10 mm thickness) for open-joint stone and tile paving.
- Batten Holder: 4 mm thickness, accommodating joists up to 65 mm wide for structural timber and composite decking systems.
- Shims: U-E10 (1 mm) and U-E20 (2 mm) for fine level adjustments.
