The purpose of terrace wedges

Decking wedges can't be missed. They must be used when installing a wooden deck on a concrete slab. They allow rainwater to drain under the joists, preventing stagnation and rotting of the wood.

RUBBERPAD rubber wedges

RUBBERPAD wedges are designed to make it easier to install your terrace and wedge your joists. They are used on flat, hard ground and can be stacked up to a maximum of 5 wedges (wedging from 8 to 40 mm, beyond which it is preferable to use NIVO® pedestals).

The rubber used comes from recycled materials. They are a simple, economical solution to the risk of rotting or damaging the wooden structure of your deck.

Rubber shims guarantee optimum stability and watertightness for your wooden structure. This small installation accessory is designed to adjust the level and increase the lifespan of the structure.

Your deck structure is therefore protected from damp and the inconvenience of standing water on the wooden joists, ensuring that your deck structure lasts as long as possible.

They are dimensionally stable, rot-proof, quick to install and economical.

FLATPAD self-draining flat wedges


Polymer plastic - Polypropylene (200 pieces for 20 M²):


FLATPADs help water to run off under the joists of your terrace. Your terrace structure is protected from damp and the inconveniences associated with contact with water.

If the level of your ground means you need to adjust the position of the joists, adjustable shims are the perfect solution. They correct slight differences in height between the installation and the ground quickly and easily.

NIVO ® self-draining wedges can be stacked up to 3-4 pieces on top of each other, allowing you to optimise the layout of your terrace to suit the terrain. Stability guaranteed. For the highest adjustments, use adjustable pedestals.

They are available in 2, 3, 4 and 5mm and in bags of 200 mixed shims (4 x 50 shims of each thickness).

FORKPAD wedges

Available in boxes of 200, FORKPAD wedges are designed for use exclusively on concrete screed, making it easy to peg wooden joists into the slab. Their shape fits perfectly into the knock-in dowels, making them easy to screw in and install.

Fitted with a clip-on tongue, they fit together whatever the thickness to achieve the desired height, and can be held in place easily when fixing.

Essential for separating the joist from the concrete surface, allowing water to circulate under the deck. This accessory is designed to improve the lifespan of the structure.

Variable opening from 8mm to 12mm. One set for 15/20 m² of decking.

WEDGEPAD adjustable notched wedges

Polymer plastic - Polypropylene (60 pieces = 5m2):

WEDGEPAD notched wedges are specially designed to make it easier to fit your joists as precisely as possible and in record time!

Installing joists on wedges sometimes requires minor structural adjustments, and these adjustable wedges are the perfect answer in record time. They correct slight differences in height between the various unevennesses of the floor very simply and with great precision. The black, brown or green adjustable notched wedges can be used to adjust and regulate differences in ground level from 8 to 30 mm.

Highly resistant and non-deformable, the notched wedges can be fixed with dowels for added stability. They come in different thicknesses (8/12 - 13/18 - 19/30 mm) for optimum level adjustment. They provide insulation from the ground and precise wedging for your terrace.
