Introducing the MetalPad Ex, Wallbarn’s fully adjustable, non-combustible pedestal system specifically engineered for suspended decking and paving installations on high-rise balconies, terraces, and flat roofs. Designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern building safety regulations, MetalPad Ex is a cost-effective, high-performance solution for Class A-rated projects.

Built for Safety and Durability
The MetalPad Ex Pedestal is coated with Zintec 200, an anti-corrosion protection that provides exceptional durability against the elements, ensuring long-term reliability in exterior applications. The Zintec 200 coating also acts as a barrier between the steel and aluminium, preventing corrosion and the structural integrity of the pedestal system.

With no plastic or rubber components, MetalPad Ex and its coating have been independently fire-tested to meet the Class A rating in accordance with BS EN 13501-1:2018. This makes it the ideal choice for high rise projects requiring fully non-combustible systems, especially with new regulations for high-rise buildings over 18 metres where all elements, including substructures and fixings, must be Class A non-combustible.

Designed and Manufactured for Easy Installation
Installation of the MetalPad Ex is simple and easy. Each pedestal is fully adjustable with millimetre precision, allowing height adjustments even after paving slabs or decking have been laid. The threaded stem ensures accurate levelling by hand, eliminating the need for specialised tools and speeding up the installation process.

Compliant with New Building Safety Legislation
With the introduction of new Building Safety Legislation, all balconies and terraces on buildings over 18 metres must be constructed using non-combustible materials. The MetalPad Ex Pedestal is fully complaint with these regulations, ensuring that your project meets specification. Additionally, drainage holes in the baseplate prevent water ponding and allow for mechanical fixing if required.

Versatile Applications for Decking and Paving
Whether you're working with porcelain tiles, slabs, or Class A deck boards, MetalPad Ex supports a range of configurations. The innovative self-levelling headpiece offers up to 5% slope correction, ensuring a flat upper surface. Wallbarn’s alumnium joists / rails were designed to connect exactly and securely with the MetalPad Ex to create a sturdy, fire-rated substructure for decking or paving systems.

For paving projects, the crucifix-shaped tile spacer allows for easy alignment, while the rail headpiece can be used to support your own non-combustible rails / joists.
