Skellerup Buzon (Screwjack Pedestal) Deck Support System

Screwjack pedestals suspend a floating, trafficable deck surface, in most cases, above a waterproofing membrane.

Why Screwjack Pedestals?

Indoor / Outdoor flow - With the New Zealand Building Code stating that an exterior deck’s waterproofing membrane must be a minimum of 100mm below the level of the interior floor slab, a screwjack pedestal system can suspend the deck’s walking surface at the same height as the interior floor level.

Superior drainage whilst still promoting watershed –  Water drains between the pavers or timber planks down onto the waterproofing membrane below.

Space Optimisation - Screwjack pedestals also hide unsightly services below an attractive deck surface

Access to membrane - Being able to remove a deck’s surface allows leaks to be diagnosed and the membrane to be easily cleaned.

Raised floors / platforms / stages - Temporary raised surfaces for exhibitions or shows can easily be erected and dismantled.

Acceptable Solution (External Moisture) - Screwjack pedestals are categorised as an "acceptable solution" according to E2/AS1.

Why Skellerup Buzon Screwjack Pedestals?

Height and Slope Adjustment - While most pedestals have only height adjustment, Skellerup Buzon pedestals have both height and slope adjustment allowing for the deck surface to be perfectly flat (0 degrees) while the membrane below slopes away to promote drainage.

Paver and Timber deck compatibility - Most pedestals have been designed only for pavers, whereas the Skellerup Buzon system also has a batten support system for accommodating timber deck bearers.

Load bearing - Each individual pedestal can support over one tonne of weight.

Surface area - Skellerup Buzon pedestals have the largest surface area of any pedestal on the market @ 325 cm² (20 cm diameter)

European Standards - Skellerup Buzon pedestals have been manufactured to precise European standards

Proven Performance - Since 1984, Skellerup Buzon pedestals have been supporting surfaces all over the world in some of high profile public places such as the Acropolis in Greece and Disney World in Florida to name a few.
