Why Vitaro for pavers

Paving without the mess

No mortar bed

Pavers sit on supports, not sand or adhesive — faster install, lighter load, no curing time.

Dead-level

Self-leveling heads cancel slab falls so the whole terrace reads as one flat plane.

Re-levelable

Lift a paver, turn the ring, drop it back. Fix settlement without re-laying the area.

Drainage

Open joints and a raised void let rainwater sheet off and the slab breathe — no ponding.

Serviceable

The void keeps drains, cables and the membrane reachable for inspection and maintenance.

Load-rated

Independently SGS-tested for foot traffic, planters and furniture loads.

FAQ

Paver pedestals — quick answers

Do I need mortar under porcelain pavers?

No. Pedestals support the slab on fixed heads — no sand bed, no adhesive, no curing. That's what makes them re-levelable and serviceable.

Can pedestals handle 20 mm porcelain slabs?

Yes. Vitaro heads have a large bearing surface sized for thin 20 mm porcelain and stone. Spacing follows the slab's spanning capacity — typically 4–6 pedestals per m² for 60×60 cm tiles.

How many pedestals per m²?

Usually 4–6 per m² for 600×600 mm pavers, depending on slab thickness and load. Use our paver calculator for an exact count from your area.
