Explanation of the system
The heart of the EasyPro 2,8-3,6cm self-leveling pedestal is the movable head.
As soon as you place the slabs on the support, the movable head attempts to balance all the slabs. Since the weight of each slab is essentially the same (e.g., four adjacent 60x60 slabs resting at one corner on a movable pedestal head), the movable head will find equilibrium and move into a horizontal position. This is similar to an old kitchen scale. When the weight on the left and right sides is equal, the movable middle section automatically returns to the horizontal position.
The most important system accessory – EasyPro self-leveling pedestal supports 2,8-3,6cm
Accessories extend the functionality of the EasyPro system and solve complex details at edges and transitions.
For all EasyPro system accessories
1. The edge finishing clip
This Plastic clip It serves as a lateral edge against adjacent masonry. The clip securely clamps the panel, preventing slippage and simultaneously protecting the wall.
2. The adjustment key
Our preview of this tool You can easily adjust the height of the pedestal during installation.
The key is simply inserted into the central mounting slot.
3. Vertical edge finish
For visually appealing visible edges, choose between Edge cladding panels made of aluminum edge cladding or Stainless steel clips for risers.
Shown here are the edge trims on the left and the edge panels on the right:

4. Fixing ring
Narrow edge plates can cause plates to be levered out.
The Fixing ring This transforms the bearing into a pedestal bearing with a fixed head in a matter of seconds.
5. Drainage solutions
The system is compatible with professional drainage channels to effectively prevent standing water on the terrace surface.
The following example shows the Rain Grid drainage cover.
Assembly: Step-by-step instructions
Installation proceeds in logical steps. We recommend that you first create a mounting jig from wood or aluminum that exactly matches the length of your panels.
1. Cutting the edge bearings
Position the pedestals as close as possible to the outer edge. To avoid overhangs, trim the base of the pedestal along the pre-marked cut lines on the underside using a jigsaw. The following image shows a pedestal trimmed on one side in the middle and a pedestal trimmed on both sides on the right.
2. Positioning and alignment
Set up the (trimmed) edge supports and the first inner row.
Use the mounting template for the distances and a spirit level (at least 2 m) to adjust the desired level using the rotary ring or the adjustment key.
Next, attach the edge clips.
3. Laying the slabs
Before laying the first slab, you should break off the unnecessary joint spacers so that it lies flush against the edge.
Please also check the level regularly with a spirit level.
Then continue laying the pedestals and slabs until you reach the edge area.
4. Vertical edge finish
For a vertical edge finish – if required – you have several options:
- an aluminum edge trim (image left) in the standard version or in the 'Sideline' version
- the edge trim (in the picture on the right)
- a version with upper and lower riser clips (image below)

Delivery
You will receive the "EasyPro" adjustable pedestal in the selected adjustment range, including pre-assembled joint spacers. Please order accessories such as fixing rings, edge clips, adjustment keys, and drainage components separately according to your individual requirements.
Planning notes / Material requirements
For narrow slabs (14 cm and above), be sure to use fixing rings. Use the installation jig to save time on large areas and achieve precise joint patterns. Ensure that the pedestal base for the edge trim is cut exactly 3 mm above the outer perforation.
Care / Maintenance of the EasyPro self-leveling pedestal system
The system is maintenance-free and durable. We simply recommend regularly checking the joints for dirt. This ensures that rainwater can drain away freely and that the drainage function of the substructure is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions about EasyPro
-
What is the difference between 'Professional' and 'EasyPro'
This is a very common question asked by our customers.
Apart from the price, which is the case with the 'EasyPro' series much lower We can provide you with some details using the following table:
Criteria EasyPro Professional Capacity up to 1,3 tons per piece up to 1,6 tons per piece Base closed base (more even weight distribution) partially open number of base supports 4 2 number of different adapters 1 2 fixation function available as an accessory installed as standard Anti-slip pad integrated integrated joint 2mm available ja ja joint 4mm available ja ja edge panel mountable ja ja edge profile mountable ja ja Upper and lower riser clips for Wide base-Cover available ja ja Upper and lower riser clips for Wide base-Cover available ja no -
Do you have to screw the pedestals?
In principle, the outermost row of pedestals should be fixed..
If a screw connection is possible depends on the terrace condition1. What is the outermost row of pedestals?
The outermost row of pedestals is a row to an open edge. An open edge is an edge that is not enclosed by walls or fixed fixing angles.
A typical 'open edge' is the last row of a balcony railing.
2. Why should the outermost row of pedestals be fixed?
The reason is that there should be no shifts in the outermost row of plates.
3. How can the fixation be done?
This depends on the nature of the subfloor:
On a concrete subfloor the pedestal can be screwed in. .
On a sealing layer the pedestal must be glued to the layer. Otherwise, the sealing layer will be damaged. -
Does the movable head reduce the maximum breaking load compared to a fixed pedestal bearing?
Compared to a horizontal position of the pedestal head, the maximum load-bearing capacity is reduced by between 5% and 20% according to technical tests carried out.
This decrease results from an increased stress on one side of the outer static support structure of the pedestal bearings – in the case of a decentralized load. -
What happens if a narrow edge plate rests on only two points of a self-leveling head? Will the head then tilt outwards unintentionally?
Yes, that can happen when full-surface slabs abut small edge slabs.
The larger plate then levers the smaller plate out.
In such cases, you should convert the outer edge pedestals into a pedestal with a fixed head.
This is achieved with Easy Pro through the use of the fixing ring.
This is inserted into the pedestal head and blocks the self-leveling mechanism.
-
Are self-leveling systems suitable for roof terraces in exposed locations, or do fixed heads offer more stability against uplift forces?
Neither. Neither system offers any additional protection against extreme storms or tornadoes as standard.
If this is the case for a terrace, we recommend:
a) the bonding of the pedestals to the floor
b) the bonding of the slabs to the pedestals
Both measures together lead to a significant improvement in protection against uplift wind forces.
Alternatively, we recommend increasing the thickness of the slabs to be laid (e.g. from 2cm to 3cm). -
Does the ball joint of the head tend to 'seize' or squeak after years of stress due to thermal expansion of the plates?
After selling over a million self-leveling pedestal bearings, we have not observed any signs of mechanical wear or acoustic impairment, even after years of use.
-
Can I use a self-leveling pedestal if both the subfloor has a slope and the slab surface is to have a (different) slope?
Yes, you can! A self-leveling pedestal can not only compensate for a slope but also create a different slope.
The following images illustrate an artificially created slope in a wooden substructure. This can also be applied to slab coverings.
-
Does dirt and water collect in the movable head, which could lead to frost damage in winter?
Here, a distinction must be made between dirt and water:
a) Water
Yes, water can accumulate in the movable head (rarely) or a film of water can form (more frequently). In winter, this can lead to ice formation. This ice is then broken up by walking on it, and a slight cracking sound can be heard once. This 'frost cracking' is unavoidable in reality.
Because the most common cause is not direct water ingress but the formation of condensation.
b) dirt
Significant dirt accumulation during winter – and the associated impairment of acoustics – has not occurred in a single instance to date. No reports of such occurrences have been received from us. -
At what percentage gradient does the extra cost for a self-leveling system become worthwhile compared to leveling shims?
The additional cost for the pedestal supports must be weighed against the significantly increased installation effort and the reduced installation accuracy. For example:
a) The additional cost per m² for self-leveling pedestals is approximately EUR 7 to 12 compared to pedestals with a fixed head (including leveling washers).
b) A publisher charges EUR 50.-/m2 of laid area only for the laying, excluding material.
The installer may therefore only incur additional costs of 7/50 to 12/50 = 8,4 minutes to 12 minutes per hour for the installation of fixed pedestals.
This does not include the lower installation accuracy of fixed pedestals with leveling discs. -
Can I combine EasyPro with rail systems, or is the movable head only useful for the direct installation of slabs?
You can use EasyPro for both the Slim Easy rail system and the Smart Wabic raised floor system.
For example, in the Slim Easy rail system, the 4mm pedestal bearing head precisely accommodates the base profile, as can be seen in the following image:
-
Does the system also compensate for unevenness in the screed or waterproofing (overlaps/dents/bumps), or is it intended purely for constant slopes?
The 5° mechanism reaches its limits in cases of large overlaps or elevations.
Additional measures are then required, e.g. our 1mm- and 3mm leveling discs which are to be placed under the pedestal support.
