Paving Support Pads
Plastic Stackable Support Pads
Stackable plastic support pads are manufactured from injection moulded high density polypropylene. They are available in two standard sizes, 12mm and 15mm high.
They are designed to stack on top of one another, where applicators wish to increase the height of the cavity at intervals – to work around gutter and service pipes, for example. Although lightweight, they are very tough, with a weight tolerance of 400kg per support pad.
They act as a guide when laying promenade slabs, ensuring uniform position. This saves a considerable amount of time in application and gives an attractive finish.
By suspending the promenade slabs, they allow water to run away from the deck underneath. They also help to prevent the build-up of dirt and other material between the slabs.
This system eliminates ponding on the upper surface of the roof or balcony.
3mm levelling shims are also available to allow for undulations in the roof surface.

Adjustable Paving Support Pads
Adjustable support pads are ideal as the stem pieces can be wound up and down to create level paving, saving a great deal of time and labour.
More roof and balcony designs incorporate a completely flat upper surface in order to utilise them more effectively as leisure areas. Useful, practical areas can be created on decks for leisure or services and maintenance which would have previously been left as exposed waterproofing membranes. Not only does this help protect potentially vulnerable areas, but it increases the yield of the building footprint.
Since this is a suspended system, the promenade slabs can simply be lifted up should the roof deck need to be inspected for damage or leaks. There is also the opportunity to hide unsightly objects such as cables, water pipes and drainage outlets underneath the paving slabs, which could be lifted even just to access items such as hidden electric points or water taps on a regular basis if required.

The adjustable support pads are available in a wide variety of sizes as detailed below.
Rubber Support Pads
Rubber Paving Support Pads ensure a secure, fast, clean and uniform way to lay promenade slabs or decking on flat roofs, balconies and walkways. Rubber Paving Support Pads are specially designed circular pads manufactured from high quality synthetic rubber.
They are extremely tough and have a high level of elasticity and flexibility. On the upper surface they have four lugs to provide regular spacing between promenade slabs. The under surface incorporates grooves to allow the drainage of water below the paving into the appropriate drainage outlet. This avoids puddling on the paved surface.
Although the rubber support pads can not be stacked and have little facility for adjustment they are very thin at only 9mm. Meaning they are the pad to use when threshold levels are a problem.
Link Pad
The self adhesive Link Pad has been designed to fix the underside of the Promenade Slabs together reducing the possibility of movement at unrestrained edges.
The Castle Link Pad Consists of one adhesive side and one reinforced side. Simply peel off the release tape and add it to the support pad with adhesive side up before laying our slabs.
This will link all four slabs at the corners to increase the resistance of the layout to movement induced by wind uplift, foot traffic, vibration etc.
When tested the link pad incresed resistance to vertical uplift of a slab up to 10 times self weight and incresed resistance to horizontal movement up to 20 times.
If one or several slabs need to be lifted for access at a later date the bond can be simply be broken by cutting around the slab with a knife and afterwords replacing the cut link pads with new ones.
