Mapei Paving Pedestal System: Self-Levelling & Fixed Heads in One Innovative Product

Professional landscape contractors and tilers understand that time saved on-site directly translates into increased profitability and smoother projects. Here at Tile Fix Direct we understand that job profitability and working with trusted brands is key to success, that's why we’re excited to introduce the new Mapei Paving Pedestal System, an innovative solution that brings versatility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to outdoor porcelain paving installations.

One System, Multiple Solutions

The standout feature of the Mapei Paving Pedestal System lies in its revolutionary dual-purpose design. Unlike typical pedestal supports which can either be self-levelling or fixed head, Mapei has combined both into a single versatile product. Each pedestal head comes with a unique plastic collar, allowing you to quickly switch between self-levelling and fixed head modes. This adaptability means a single product range covers multiple scenarios, dramatically reducing stock requirements and simplifying your project.

Versatility & Precise Height Adjustment

Mapei pedestals are available in adjustable bases ranging from 28mm to 150mm, with additional stackable risers (10mm and 80mm) to achieve even greater height adjustments. This comprehensive range ensures that any unevenness or challenging gradients can be effortlessly accommodated, significantly speeding up installations compared to traditional methods.

Quick and Simple Installation

Time spent on adjustments can dramatically slow down paving projects. With Mapei's intuitive system, installation becomes faster and more precise. The self-levelling head effortlessly accommodates slopes, ensuring perfectly flat surfaces instantly. For areas requiring fixed heads, simply lock the self-levelling feature with the plastic collar provided. And for precision fine-tuning, the innovative Mapei Pedestal Adjustment Key allows height adjustments even after tiles are in place—meaning perfect results every time, without costly delays. (Please note; the key can only be used on the 4mm joint size head).

Superior Water Drainage

Poor drainage can compromise paving durability and safety. Mapei pedestals feature strategically placed drainage holes at the base, eliminating water pooling beneath tiles. This not only enhances the longevity of paving installations but reduces ongoing maintenance—delivering long-term savings.

Durable, Sustainable & Cost-Effective

Mapei pedestals are built from robust materials designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including temperatures from -40°C to +120°C. This durability ensures long-term reliability, reducing lifetime costs. Additionally, at the end of their lifecycle, pedestals can be completely recycled, aligning perfectly with sustainable building practices.

Mapei vs. Eterno Ivica: How Do They Compare?

The Eterno Ivica SE range (self-levelling) and NM range (fixed head) are popular choices among UK trade professionals. However, these solutions require separate purchases for different requirements. The innovative dual-functionality of the Mapei system eliminates this redundancy—meaning less stock to manage and fewer products to transport to site. Contractors can streamline their workflow, save on inventory space, and reduce project costs, gaining a clear advantage over traditional pedestal systems.
