Creating a roof terrace on a flat roof is getting more popular, but so is outdoor areas- either with a small landscape architecture or near your house, this kind of project are worth considering. If you want to create a building construction on the ground level with terrace - you've come to the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two methods of creating terraces- traditional (bonded) and raised (elevated)<\/a>. In this article we will focus on the second one, since it is much more faster and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a raised terrace?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a known solution for years, it was even used in a historic architecture. The system involves raising the floor to the required height, while leaving a void underneath. The finished surface (with pavers,tiles or decking on joists) is raised by adjustable pedestals. This system has a lot of advantages, such as not having to connect the elements together permanently, or with glue. Thanks to their features and compatibility, it's often used on balconies, roof terrace, patios and more.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here are some of the advantages of terrace on adjustable pedestals:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n

  1. The floor surface is flat because the water drainage is hidden underneath - the water runs quickly down the slope into the terrace gravel.<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  2. All fixtures can be hidden in the space underneath the terrace surface - it is easy to add a few light points as the electrical installation can be easily concealed<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  3. It is easy to clean - there is no need to scrub the joints between the tiles (in traditional terraces, the outdoor paving is usually very dirty due to staining water)<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  4. Thanks to the elevation technique, the terrace elements are much more durable<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  5. Raised terraces can be finished with almost anything you want - ceramic tiles, stone, concrete or a decking board of your choice<\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  6. No need to join the elements permanently - there is no need to glue the tiles to the substrate, so in case of any damage, it is very easy to replace one element <\/p><\/li>\n\n\n\n

  7. Shorter installation time (no glueing= no waiting time)
