Compatible with both paver and timber decks, the deck surface sits above (in most cases) a waterproofing membrane. The slope correction mechanism on top of the pedestal allows the deck surface to lay perfectly flat (0% slope) above the waterproofing membrane which slopes away from the building for drainage purposes, and Buzon pedestals range in height from 17mm to 620mm.

Viking Buzon pedestals can support any type of timber decking or ceramic, stone, concrete paving or flag material, as well as fibreglass or metal grid panels. They are suitable for the smallest residential balcony projects through to large bridge walkways, industrial platforms or large civil projects for public spaces such as those requiring water and power reticulation below the ground which can be easily accessed.

Viking Buzon pedestals are suitable for any kind of stable substrate, including applications directly over insulation panels.
