A current promising trend in the modern construction industry is the idea of using building roofs as useful exploitable areas.
An example of the implementation of such an idea is the creation of terraces - when other materials are laid on the surface of the roof waterproofing, which serve as the actual floor of the terrace. The main disadvantage of such a solution is obvious - the covering and the roof are a monolithic "cake", which must take into account the numerous slopes of the floor, but ultimately be horizontal on the one hand, and on the other, ensure the water drain … The result is a large total weight of the structure, as well as critical difficulties with the laying and repair of various communications (pipelines and electrical networks).
At the same time, there is a wonderful engineering solution in the world that allows you to easily bypass these problems and provide a reliable device for operating roofs, stylobates, balconies and terraces.
Adjustable screw supports of the Belgian company BUZON are an excellent solution for the device of an exploited roof - installation of a terrace covering from granite and concrete slabs, a terrace board and garden parquet. Adjustable supports BUZON allow you to mount a raised floor and make the roof usable. The design provides easy access to maintenance and repair of the waterproofing layer.
Poles and accessories for the construction of roofs suitable for the installation of terraces, both on the ground and on a flat roof, are an integral part of the technical solution for projects of private houses, public and industrial buildings. The use of supports allows you to protect the waterproofing layer of the base from repeated mechanical loads, raise the surface of the coating to the required height and give it a strictly horizontal position. With the help of supports, the horizontal surface of the terrace and the base of the roof (waterproofing) with slopes for drainage are separated.
The Belgian company Buzon Pedestal International, established in 1987 and supplying products to more than 50 countries around the world, is the largest European manufacturer of adjustable screw bearings. A few years ago
Buzon came to Russia and at construction sites they began to arrange terraces on adjustable supports, which allow you to set the required coating height, as well as the required slope.
Adjustable supports BUZON, have a range of heights from 17 to 850 mm, providing with an accuracy of 1 mm smooth regulation of the level of coverage. After setting the required height, the position of the supports is fixed with a locking key, which excludes subsequent rotation caused by loads or vibration.
At the same time, the design of the support allows you to compensate for both a slope in the range of 0 to 5% and unevenness in the base. The supports are made of polypropylene. The peculiarity of this material allows the supports to be moisture-resistant, frost-resistant, not rot, collapse, and resist aggressive environments. Tested for safety, compression, grip and lateral displacement standards.
The temperature range for the use of supports is from - 40 to + 80 °, which is quite important for the harsh Russian climatic conditions
Due to the design features, the BUZON adjustable supports allow effective uniform distribution of the load on the waterproofing layer of the roof and are capable of withstanding a load of more than 1000 kg per support. The support is installed on any base (waterproofing, rigid insulation, soil, concrete). The design of the system provides for the removal of moisture from all its elements.
Adjustable supports BUZON, created on the principle of a screw jack, are the main element when laying a terrace, arranging an exploited roof and any kind of decking.
The base area of the support is 314 cm² and the area of the top is 188 cm². BUZON supports can be installed directly on the waterproofing without damaging it during the entire period of operation.
The angle corrector allows you to adjust the slope of the surface in divisions on the retaining plane in accordance with the slope (from 0 to 5%) in half a percent increments, which must be compensated, that is, from zero to five centimeters per meter. A simple and accurate way of adjustment by rotating the corrector 360 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, guarantees quick installation and complete horizontal coverage in all directions.
With the help of the use of supports, the terrace covering can be raised to the required height and provide the terrace covering with a strict horizontal surface.
The cover is mounted while maintaining the tile gaps required for free drainage. Water, falling on the terrace slabs, flows freely down to the waterproofing layer and then is removed through the drain into the general sewer system. Cleaning is simplified to one step - flushing the dirt from the hose under pressure. The same feature allows air to circulate freely under the surface of the coating, which contributes to the drying of the surface of the waterproofing layer. The free space between the waterproofing and the terrace slabs allows you to place all the necessary communications, decorative lighting, and free ventilation does not allow the development of harmful microflora.
In addition, the high manufacturability of the system allows, if necessary, to combine various types of external coating, in accordance with the wishes of the customer. The installation features make it possible to carry out work in a short time and create almost any zone configuration in one or more levels.
Adjustable supports BUZON connect the individual elements of the coating to each other so that no additional fixing of the tile to the surface of the base on which it is laid is required. Manufacturability, versatility and ease of installation of the support system allow them to be used on roofing surfaces of various configurations and with slopes in all directions, as well as on sites where there are, for example, steps.
BUZON adjustable support systems are widely used for the construction of dry comfortable floors not only on the operated roofs, but also around the swimming pools, as well as for the installation of fountains, terraces, pedestrian areas, temporary platforms for exhibitions or other events.
Adjustable poles BUZON is a modern tool for erecting floors from concrete, granite and ceramic slabs, wooden decking, composite materials. One of the main advantages of this tool is the ability to easily dismantle the floor in the event of a waterproofing leak or during scheduled repairs.
Adjustable supports BUZON help to reduce installation time and eliminate additional costs when laying the flooring on soft roofs and surfaces with a slope.

Advantages of decking installed on Buzon adjustable feet
1. The free space between the waterproofing and the terrace slabs allows laying and repairing all the necessary communications (pipelines and electrical networks) and decorative lighting, and free ventilation does not allow the development of harmful microflora.
2. With the help of supports, the horizontal surface of the terrace and the base of the roof (waterproofing) with slopes for drainage are separated. The use of supports protects the waterproofing layer of the base from repeated mechanical stress and exposure to UV radiation. The same feature allows air to circulate freely under the terrace covering, which contributes to the drying of the surface of the waterproofing layer, and, accordingly, an increase in its service life.
3. The inter-tile space provides a comfortable drainage system, which leads to a quick drying of the terrace surface. Water, falling on the terrace, flows freely down to the waterproofing layer and then is removed through the drain into the general sewer system.
4. Adjustable supports Buzon with built-in slope angle corrector provide manufacturability, versatility and ease of installation, allowing them to be used on roofing surfaces of various configurations and with slopes in all directions. Raising the covering plane to the required height and gives it a strictly horizontal position. The design provides easy access to maintenance and repair of the waterproofing layer.
5. The surface of the decking is separated from the surface of the base (waterproofing), being a completely independent structure. The horizontal surface of the terrace can absorb thermal expansion (contraction) as well as structural movements in the building.
6. Without special requirements for the covering, the structure of the supported terrace, which has a low dead weight, is "floating", quick to erect and cost effective.
