Can Structural® joists be used for a ceramic or slab terrace?

Yes, the Structural® concept of Cobrafastener® was designed to adapt equally well to wooden or composite blades than to terraces in porcelain stoneware, reconstituted stone or concrete slabs.

1. A structure designed for heavy slabs

The joists Structural® (40×60, 80×60 or 120×60 mm) easily support the weight of the ceramic tiles, guaranteeing a perfect flatness and one continuous ventilation below the surface, even on unstable and sloping ground.

Their rigidity prevents any deformation, even under high load, while ensuring excellent water evacuation.

• Recommended ranges:
• 40×60 mm → up to 1m
• 80×60 mm → up to 2m
• 120×60 mm → up to 3m
• Compatible with NIVO® adjustable supports or the foundation screw SPIRAL depending on the ground configuration.
• Finishing matt black RAL 9005, discreet and elegant, invisible under the tiles.

💡  Pro tip: the MyDeckPlanner configurator allows you to plan the layout, obtain the complete list of components and visualize the structure in 3D before installation.

2. Accessories and finishes designed for ceramics

The system Structural® includes a complete range of dedicated accessories:

• STRUCTURAL® slab supports, which clip onto the joist and maintain each slab with a regular joint (3 to 5 mm).
• Connectors and brackets to connect the joists and reinforce the structure.
• Adjustable supports for precise height adjustment and quick leveling.
• Smart skirting finishes, making it possible to fix the suspended skirting boards using hooks.
  
  This system does not require no glue : the plinths fit together mechanically, guaranteeing a clean and durable finish.

Result: a clean, removable and 100% reversible installation!

 3. Premium finish and durability

A ceramic terrace on joists Structural® offers a perfect alignment and one rigid base without glue or screed.

The rot-proof aluminum ensures the longevity of the structure, while the natural ventilation under the slabs prevents condensation and extends their lifespan.

The result: a contemporary, elegant, quiet and easy-to-maintain terrace — designed to last.
