Timber Installation

When timber decking is laid, the decking substructure is set up by positioning decking supports at the required intervals along the counter-battening line. In this case the counter-battening, i.e.timber beams laid at right angles to the actual timber decking, is not placed on the corners of the decking supports, but is laid diagonally across the support or diagonally through the spacers onthe upside of the support. This automatically secures the beams, which can be up to 70 mm wide depending on which pedestal is used, in place and prevents them from shifting. If wider beamsare used, the spacers are either removed or an inverted-configuration installation procedure is undertaken. Beams are directly connected to decking supports (screwed, bonded etc.), mainly if the decking is laid at a height of 35 cm or more.

Our pedestals facilitate heights of between 15 and 600 mm. The combination of rigid and height adjustable pedestals as well as shim washers allows you to height-adjust to the exact millimetre.
