Traditional plastic pedestals, even those with fire-retardant additives claiming to be non-flammable supports, are inherently combustible and may not be in full compliance with fire regulations for elevated decks.

In contrast, Incendio fire-rated pedestals are made entirely of steel, rendering them non-combustible and in full compliance with fire regulations and rigorous local fire codes. This non-combustible nature makes them ideal for applications where fire safety is a paramount concern, such as rooftop decks in urban areas with stringent building codes.

When installing Incendio steel deck supports, it’s important to note that, unlike plastic pedestals, the steel base cannot be trimmed to fit closer to perimeter walls or parapets. Therefore, precise planning is essential to ensure proper placement. As with any adjustable height pedestals, setting them as level as possible before finalizing the installation will help achieve a level and stable decking surface. 

Although the 4” x 4” totally flat steel base distributes the load evenly over roofing membranes, an optional 9″ x 9″ buffer pad can be supplied for placement under the base of the steel deck supports if required.
