Pedestal Tile Safety & Structural Backing System"

Bonded structural backing for safer tiles used on pedestal systems

" Stop Tile Breakthrough before it happens."

SafePave® is not a pedestal system. It is a bonded safety and structural system that reinforces the tiles and pavers used on pedestal systems — transforming them into a single composite structural unit.

THE PROBLEM

WHY PEDESTAL TILE SYSTEMS FAIL

Raised pedestal flooring systems subject brittle materials to bending, impact, point loading and movement conditions that are very different from conventional bonded tile installations. Without reinforcement, failure can be sudden, uncontrolled and hazardous.

Point Loading

Corner-supported tiles experience concentrated stress across the span

Impact Damage

Safety Risk

Breakthrough and fragment separation can create injury and damage to sub tile services and membranes

Dropped objects can trigger brittle cracking and sudden tile failure

Design Compromise

Traditional approaches often add weight, cost, complexity or limit access. This photo shows a job site where they tried to add support under the tiles.

THE SOLUTION

ONE SOLUTION, THREE SYSTEMS.

Pedestal tiles need more support, not just a tray underneath the tile. A tray prevents breakthrough but increases vibration from impact leading to a higher risk of tiles cracking.
