Trapezoid Porcelain Pavers Over U-TOP-FLEX
On this commercial rooftop terrace under construction, the design team is installing trapezoid porcelain pavers using Buzon PB-Series screwjack pedestals paired with the U-TOP-FLEX accessory. The project is still taking shape with tools on the deck, exposed cut sections, and staged tiles, but it already showcases what’s possible when designers move beyond standard square and rectangular formats.
Why Trapezoid Porcelain Pavers?
Trapezoidal and non-rectilinear pavers create dynamic layouts that squares simply can’t match. But unconventional shapes require an adaptive support system. That’s where Buzon pedestals and the U-TOP-FLEX accessory excel.
This rooftop installation uses porcelain pavers shaped specifically for a geometric pattern that aligns with the terrace’s layout. Even partial cuts near the guardrail and building façade blend seamlessly thanks to the flexible pedestal head configuration.
How U-TOP-FLEX Expands Design Possibilities
U-TOP-FLEX allows designers to use any shape paver, including trapezoid, triangular, hexagonal, radiused, or even curvilinear profiles. Key advantages:
- Custom Spacer Alignment: Sliding U-Tabs adjust to match any paver edge.
- Material Versatility: Works with porcelain, stone, concrete, glass, or wood pavers.
- No-Tool Installation: Clips onto PB-Series pedestal heads via the PB-KIT-8 attachment.
- Creative Freedom: Ideal for rooftop decks, terraces, plazas, pool surrounds, and water features.
In this rooftop application, the accessory ensures consistent spacing and stable support for the trapezoid porcelain pavers across the changing layout. See more Buzon Pedestal projects.
