The Fixed Head variant is a practical and efficient solution for projects with flat/level substrates or minimal falls.
The Self-Levelling variant is the go-to solution for applications with a tapered waterproofed substrates, enabling slope correction up to 10.5%.
The Low-Height Stackable variant provides a vital solution for areas with limited height build-up. It can also be used in conjunction with other variants to overcome localised height build-up challenges.
The Visual Wind Uplift Restraint is specifically for areas with high wind loads. To ensure sufficient wind uplift mitigation, project specific calculations are recommended. RYNOâ„¢ can assist with these calculations – let’s discuss.

The TerraSmart Non-Combustible Pedestal System with Porcelain Tiles is designed as standard to achieve a 2.0kN concentrated load and 4.0kN/m2 uniformly distributed load. Other loadings can be achieved on a project by project basis.
No but due to its function as a shock absorbent gasket, it is exempt under regulation 7(3) and is not required to be non-combustible.
For the RP-FR pedestal system, we offer a pedestal cantilever bracket that is designed to support cantilevering pavers up to 100mm.
All RYNO porcelain and concrete paving options can be used with pedestals. Natural stone should be supported on the TerraSmart Rail System. All pavers being used on pedestal systems must be calibrated to a recommended tolerance of +/-2mm.
Edge spring clips are designed to maintain a 10-12 mm perimeter gap in accordance with the British standard BS 8579:2020. The edge spring clip goes on the head of each perimeter pedestal and is designed to ensure that pavers are kept in line and that they don’t move out of alignment in the long term. Edge spring clips are not a mandatory component; however, not including them will lead to long-term movement of the pavers.
Yes, it is possible to go from a pedestal system to a pedestal and rail system. However, it’s important to consider the application and the interface details between the two systems to ensure long-term movement doesn’t occur. It’s important to also consider the efficiency of switching between a rail system and a pedestal system.
All RYNO porcelain and concrete paving options require one pedestal at each corner of the slab. A central pedestal is not required.
However, this may not apply to all third-party porcelain tiles. The strength and suitability of porcelain tiles for pedestal-supported applications can vary depending on how they are manufactured. Some tiles have deep profiles or indentations on the underside, designed to improve adhesion in traditional bedded installations. These can reduce the tile’s strength when supported only at its corners.
If using paving that has not been supplied by RNYO, we recommend checking with the paving manufacturer that it is suitable for use on a raised pedestal system and whether any additional support is required.
Zinc-nickel electroplating is a high-performance protective coating applied to steel components to improve corrosion resistance. It provides significantly greater durability than standard zinc coatings, making it well-suited to external construction applications where long-term performance and reduced maintenance are important.
It is recommended that an aluminium edge restraint is installed to hold the gravel in position and provide a firm interface for the paving to abut.
The RYNO non-combustible pedestal ranges, RP-FR, RPS-FR and RD-FR are all inherently Euroclass A1 (non-combustible) in accordance with the European Commission Decision 4th October 1996 (96/603/EC). BROOF(t4) certification is available for download from the system page.
