Laticrete now offers a new option for elevated floors in its NXT^® Pedestal System, a versatile and durable answer for raised decking, paver and tile installations. NXT Pedestals are designed for easy installations on rooftop decks, terraces, plazas, pool surrounds and more.

The NXT Pedestal System can support a variety of finish materials and uses triple screw thread technology for precise height adjustments. With just three interchangeable components, these pedestals can reach heights of up to 41½ inches and slopes of up to 5 degrees. The two primary pedestals -- the Max and Mini -- are comprised of weather-resistant materials and rated to carry up to 2,000 pounds apiece. The Mini handles heights of 3/4 up to 1 ¾ inches and the Max starts off at 1 ¾ inches and goes up to 5 ½ inches. The third component, the Extender, simply connects to either the Mini or the Max, adding 4 inches to the pedestals, and up to nine extenders can be combined to achieve a wide variety of heights.

“We engineered the NXT Pedestal System with high-quality materials and a modular design, ensuring it performs as you’d expect from an industry leader like Laticrete,” said Mike Fedorco, product manager at Laticrete. “What results is a product that can stand up to the most demanding installations, being able to handle snow loads, furniture, garden beds and more. It also cleverly allows for easy access to any infrastructure like HVAC lines and drains that live beneath pavers, tiles and decking.”

This pedestal system offers a stable, low-maintenance solution for long-term installations, enhancing functionality and design flexibility for residential and commercial projects. Likewise, contractors and technicians will find that the pedestal system has fewer components than other options on the market, making selecting the right parts and installing easy. Accessories in the NXT Pedestal line -- such as the Slope Corrector, Base Pad, Rubber Shim and Timber Joist Bracket -- empower professionals across disciplines with the flexibility and confidence to tackle varying heights, slopes and surface materials with ease. NXT Pedestals ship in May 2025.
