Designing the Perfect Outdoor Space with Kegret Solutions 🛠️🌧️
Practical, durable and stylish — decking, paving and support systems that stand the test of British weather.
Whether you're updating a rooftop terrace or creating a low-maintenance patio, the right components make all the difference. In this guide we explore how kegret paving, kegret deck and our raised access floor pedestals work together to create elegant, long-lasting outdoor spaces. 🇬🇧✨
Why choose modular systems for terraces and decks?
Traditional wet-laid finishes are beautiful but time-consuming. Modern solutions based on pedestals and pads speed installation, improve drainage and simplify maintenance. Popular components include raised floor pedestals, paving pads and spacers for consistent joints — all of which help you create a clean, level surface without altering the substrate.
Key components explained
- Pedestal supports — adaptable heights that create a level finish over imperfect substrates. We refer to these as access floor pedestals or raised floor pedestals.
- Roofing pads & supports — protect waterproof membranes on rooftop terraces: see roofing pads and roofing support.
- Paver pads & spacers — small but crucial: paver pads, paving slabs spacers and paving slabs singles keep joints even and prevent chipping.
- Pavers & slabs — choice of stone, porcelain or concrete that sits atop the system; ideal when paired with paver outlets near me for sourcing local materials.
Design tips for terraces & roofs (terrace design)
Good terrace design balances drainage, durability and aesthetics. Use a pedestal system to create a ventilated void beneath your finish — it allows water to run away and gives access to services without ripping up the surface. For roofs, select roof slabs or lightweight paving with protective roofing pads to avoid damage to the waterproofing layer.
Practical
Adjustable pedestals make levelling straightforward; they compensate for slope and allow for a uniform walking surface.
Aesthetic
Combine kegret decking with paving slabs to create contrast — timber warmth next to sleek stone. 😍
Installation snapshot — what to expect
- Prepare the substrate and check falls for drainage.
- Place roofing support or paving pads where required to protect membranes.
- Install raised access floor pedestals at specified centres, use paving slabs spacers for consistent gaps.
- Lay paving slabs singles or kegret decking boards, check levels and adjust pedestals as needed.
Sourcing & local support
Looking for materials? Search local suppliers or use a “paver outlets near me” query to find porcelain, stone and paving slabs that suit your project. Many merchants will supply paving slabs singles if you need individual units for repairs or feature areas.
If you’re specifying for a commercial raised access area or a rooftop terrace, call out the required load rating and whether you need non-slip finishes — that ensures the paving pads and pedestals meet your project's demands.
Maintenance & longevity
Systems built with pedestals and paver pads are low maintenance. Periodically sweep and check drainage outlets. If you used timber decking, treat and seal per manufacturer guidance; for stone or porcelain, simply keep joints clear and inspect pedestal heads for stone chipping.
For many homeowners and specifiers, the combination of kegret paving and kegret decking provides a flexible, serviceable platform that stays looking great year after year. 💪🌦️
