Redefining Outdoor Spaces: An In-depth Look at Wallbarn’s Innovative Pedestal Rail System

As the world of architecture and design continues to evolve, innovative solutions are constantly emerging to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of our outdoor spaces. One such product that has significantly transformed the decking and paving industry is the pedestal rail system. In particular, Wallbarn’s cutting-edge rail system offers a host of benefits that traditional decking frames and wooden joists cannot match.

1. Introduction to Pedestal Rail Systems

A pedestal rail system is essentially a framework that is used to lay tiles, particularly porcelain ones. These systems are gaining traction due to their enhanced support and stability, enabling the creation of aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound outdoor spaces.

2. Wallbarn’s Pedestal Rail System: A Game Changer

Wallbarn’s pedestal rail system stands out in the market due to its innovative modular design. It facilitates the laying of ceramic planks with minimal effort, enabling users to achieve aesthetic solutions that were previously unattainable.

3. Key Features of Wallbarn’s Rail System

Wallbarn’s rail system boasts several notable features that enhance its appeal:

1. Lateral Stability: The rail system reduces movement across the deck, thereby improving its stability.
2. Bespoke Headpiece: The headpiece can be clipped onto the profiled aluminium joist to provide additional support.
3. Aluminium Rail: The rail securely clicks onto the Megapad pedestal, ensuring a firm grip.
4. Flexibility: The system can accommodate not just ceramic planks, but also timber decking directly into the rail for low height thresholds.

4. Versatility of Wallbarn’s Rail System

Wallbarn’s pedestal rail system can be used to install decking boards and stonewares or slabs made of stone and ceramics of any shape and size. This versatility enables the creation of outdoor raised floors with boards and a mixed top finish.

5. Benefits of Using Wallbarn’s Rail System

The advantages of using Wallbarn’s rail system are manifold:

1. Ease of Installation: Unlike traditional decking frames that need cutting and screwing together, Wallbarn’s rail system is designed for quick assembly.
2. Durability: Made from lightweight, resistant aluminium, the system offers unmatched strength and longevity.
3. Low Maintenance: Aluminium does not rust like steel, thereby requiring minimal maintenance.
4. Cost Efficiency: Rail substructures are lighter than steel, resulting in lower shipping costs. They also require only basic tools for installation, reducing labour costs.

6. How to Install Wallbarn’s Rail System

Wallbarn also provides a guide to facilitate the installation process. The rail headpiece has integrated lugs to hold porcelain or other slabs/tiles. The headpiece can be slid along the rail to ensure a secure fit to the edges of the slabs/tiles.

7. The Mega Balance Pedestal

Wallbarn’s Mega Balance is an adjustable height pedestal for paving and decking systems. It boasts an ultra-heavy-duty weight tolerance, tolerating over 2 tonnes per unit before breaking. It also features a self-levelling headpiece for smoother, high-end surface finishes.

8. Unique Features of Mega Balance

Mega Balance stands out due to its unique features:

1. Self-Levelling or Fixed Headed Pedestal: By adding the grey nut, users can lock off the head to create a more rigid pedestal.
2. Yellow Key: This mechanism allows for the adjustment of the height of the pedestal with the slab still in position, saving labour and improving health and safety.

9. Headpiece Options for Mega Balance

Mega Balance is available with a standard paving headpiece, a decking joist headpiece, and a clip headpiece designed to hold Wallbarn’s profiled aluminium rail.

10. Additional Benefits of Mega Balance

Beyond its main features, Mega Balance offers several additional benefits. For instance, it has steeper, narrower weight-bearing fins on the outside of the central column. This means the bases can be cut back closer to that column for paving up to the wall or parapet, resulting in a stronger, tidier finish.

11. Conclusion

In conclusion, Wallbarn’s rail system offers a practical, durable, and cost-efficient solution for decking and paving installations. Whether you’re a contractor, architect, or homeowner, this innovative product can revolutionise your outdoor installation process.
