A2 Rated Pedestals and Rails for Paving FAQs

What are the benefits of fire rated paving pedestals over plastic pedestals?

Fire rated paving pedestals offer a non-combustible support option for projects where plastic pedestal systems may not meet the required specification. They are especially relevant for high-rise, balcony and terrace applications where material fire performance is a key consideration.

Are aluminium rails used beneath paving slabs?

Yes. Aluminium rails can be used as part of a suspended paving pedestal system where the project requires a coordinated non-combustible support structure. The rail arrangement will depend on the slab size, loading requirements and installation guidance.

What height ranges are available for MetalPad paving pedestals?

MetalPad pedestals are available in a range of adjustable heights to suit different build-up depths and finished floor levels. The correct height should be selected based on the substrate, drainage falls, paving slab depth and required finished level.

Can non combustible paving pedestals be used for commercial projects?

Yes. Non combustible paving pedestals can be considered for commercial terraces, high-use external walkways, hospitality areas and residential developments, subject to correct specification, loading requirements and installation guidance.

What installation components are required with A2 rated paving pedestals?

The required components depend on the paving system, substructure design and project layout. IMS can advise on suitable MetalPad pedestals, paving heads, aluminium rails, connectors and fixing components for external paving installations.
