Rail system
Suspension system for laying porcelain tiles and decking
Key Advantages
- Creates lateral stability across deck by reducing movement
- Bespoke headpiece clips onto profiled aluminium joist
- Aluminium rail clicks securely onto Megapad pedestal
- Timber decking can also fix directly into rail for low height thresholds

- Integrated rail system for installing porcelain tiles and ceramic planks
- Designed to give greater support to slabs and tiles and additional lateral strength across the deck
- The rail helps to “tie together” the pedestals, giving more stability across the upper surface
- Modular system:
- 2m long heavy duty aluminium rail
- Special head clips for pads and rail
- Works with our Megapad and Minipad ranges
The rail headpiece has integrated lugs to hold porcelain or other slabs and tiles. The headpiece can be slid along the rail to ensure a secure fit to the edges of the tiles.
The headpiece is available with 2mm or 4mm wide lugs. All lugs are 10mm high.
This system is ideal for ceramic planks, which are often very thin and can be supplied up to 1 metre in length.
The rail system not only gives greater stability across the paved area, it also speeds up installation significantly.
Instead of having to measure each pedestal height when attempting to create a flat upper surface, installers can measure the pedestals at each end of the 2 metre long aluminium rail to get the level, then place the intermediate pedestals under the rail and wind them up until they “bite”.
Talk to a member of the team for more information and guidance on our rail system and range of support pedestals.
* it is essential that customers also purchase Megapads or Minipads with the Rail System to make up the full system.
For Decking
- Integrated system for installing composite decking
- Designed to give greater support to decking at lower height thresholds and provide additional lateral strength across the deck
- Rail helps “tie together” pedestals, giving more stability across the upper surface
- Modular system:
- 2m long heavy duty aluminium rail
- Special head clips for pads and rail
- Works with our Megapad and Minipad ranges
It is essential that customers also purchase Megapads or Minipads with the Rail System to make up the full system.
Each aluminium rail measures 20mm high x 60mm wide x 2000mm long and is specially shaped to click into the spring-loaded headpiece clips. These clips hold the rail onto the head of the Megapad or Minipad.
For decking the rail is installed with the threaded insert section facing upwards. This insert is designed to allow a 4mm wide decking screw to be fitted into the ridged walls to hold decking boards installed with the top fixing method.
The rail system not only gives greater stability across the decked area, but it also speeds up installation significantly. Instead of having to measure each pedestal height when attempting to create a flat upper surface, installers can measure the pedestals at each end of the 2 metre long aluminium rail to get the level, then place the intermediate pedestals under the rail and wind them up until they “bite”.
