‘Incendio’ Non-Combustible Steel Pedestals

With fire safety regulations becoming increasingly tough, particularly in urban areas, polypropylene paver supports are no longer a viable option in many locations. Often, they’re not permitted even with fire-retardant additives. Archatrak has developed the innovative ‘Incendio’ steel pedestal system to address this very issue. These pedestals offer exceptional fire resistance without compromising on cost, making them a practical and reliable alternative to traditional plastic supports.

The ‘Incendio’ pedestals are composed entirely of steel. They meet all of the highest fire safety standards. Our fire-rated pedestals have been rigorously tested in accordance with ASTM E136, the “Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750°C,” and have successfully met all passing criteria. As fire-rated pedestals, they are an excellent choice for projects requiring non-combustible materials.

Designed for versatility and durability, the steel deck supports offer incremental height adjustment from 1″ to an impressive maximum of 19 1/4″. The 4” x 4” flat steel base ensures even load distribution across roofing membranes, reducing stress on the substrate. For reduced sound transmission and additional membrane protection,  an optional 9″ x 9″ buffer pad can be placed under the pedestal base. These non-flammable supports also feature a locking ring on the screwed column. This provides excellent stability and prevents unwanted movement during use.

Archatrak steel paver support pedestals permit the construction of totally non-combustible elevated decks on rooftops or other locations where strict fire regulations are enforced.

‘Incendio’ features a fire-resistant polypropylene snap-on cap with integrated paver spacer tabs. It is the only non-steel component in the pedestal and is designed to securely hold pavers in place while maintaining the system’s overall fire resistance. The tapped head of the rooftop steel pedestals facilitates the installation of the Archatrak wind-uplift system, compatible with both 2cm and 3cm porcelain pavers. Our design avoids the common issue seen with plastic pedestals, where lock-down screws can pull through the plastic head. This is a necessity since this can lead to system failure over time.

The advantages of choosing steel supports for rooftop decks go beyond fire safety. The strength and durability of the ‘Incendio’ pedestals provide long-term reliability, even in challenging environmental conditions. Unlike plastic supports, which may degrade or fail under extreme temperatures or stress, these fire-rated pedestals maintain their structural integrity for the life of the installation. This makes them an ideal choice for commercial, residential, and high-traffic applications where safety and performance are required.

Whether you’re constructing rooftop terraces, elevated decks, or other outdoor spaces, Archatrak’s steel deck supports offer an unmatched combination of safety, stability, and cost-efficiency. Their non-combustible nature ensures compliance with stringent fire codes, while their thoughtful design guarantees dependable performance. For projects requiring the highest standards in fire safety and structural support, the ‘Incendio’ rooftop steel pedestals deliver exceptional value and peace of mind.

When planning your next project, choose Archatrak’s ‘Incendio’ system for reliable, non-flammable supports that meet the demands of modern construction and fire safety regulations. Explore the benefits of these innovative steel pedestals and ensure your project stands the test of time—both in safety and durability.

Installation guides for building elevated decks with porcelain, wood or concrete pavers laid over Archatrak adjustable deck pedestal supports can be seen here together with a short video illustrating the various stages of installation.

The installation procedure with ‘Incendio’ steel non-combustible steel pedestals is similar, with the notable exception that the base of the steel pedestals cannot be cut to bring the pedestals closer to any perimeter wall or parapet.

Archatrak is proud to support both the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) in their efforts to assist the millions of people who have been forced to flee their home country and Médecins Sans Frontières who do incredible work in the field in more than 70 countries, providing medical humanitarian assistance to save lives and ease the suffering of people in crisis situations.

For every adjustable deck support sold, Archatrak is donating $0.15 to either UNHCR or Médecins Sans Frontières.
