Raised outdoor floor: how to make it?

The raised outdoor floors, also called floating or floating, are installed in equipped gardens, balconies, poolside, patios, porches and verandas. They consist of a flooring (stoneware, stone, wood, PVC) resting on a support structure consisting of pedestals, generally in polypropylene, resting on a sloping screed. The feet must be arranged at a constant distance between them and arranged in parallel rows; the dry floor must therefore be placed on top of them.We offer Uptec, a range of 3 in 1 supports, with which it is possible to create any type of raised floor using only 3 main elements. It is a modular system, very simple to use, in which just add / remove one more Ring to reach the desired height. The Uptec supports are also adjustable in height and can be used both in the self-leveling and fixed versions, simply by fixing the ring on the head of the foot. The system should be used in a self-leveling version to compensate for the slope of the substrate, saving time and thus obtaining a flat and stable walkable floor. On the head of the support there are fins that allow a homogeneous spacing between the slabs of the floor and thus facilitates the evacuation of rainwater.
