Final adjustments can be achieved with Hanover's flexible Leveling Shims. Leveling Shims are rubber-like, preventing paver movement and providing a more solid feel. They will not slide as they eliminate "rigid on rigid" placement. Thicknesses are available in 1/8" (white) or 1/16" (black). Leveling Shims may be separated into halves or quarters for individual paver adjustments.

Leveling plates may be separated into halves and quarters for individual paver adjustment. For general leveling adjustments, approximately 10 leveling plates per 100 pedestals are used. Irregular surfaces or structures of different thicknesses will increase number required. Pedestals can also be multiple stacked to accommodate 5/8" increments. The placing of thick leveling plates over pedestals may be required for fine leveling. These methods can be used to surface align one paver with the next and compensate for minor deck and paver discrepancies.

Paver Support Pedestal: Not more than two thickness leveling plates should be used under any one paver. High-Tab® Pedestal: Shims can be stacked in any combination up to 5/8". Beyond 5/8" use another High-Tab® Pedestal. On deck areas where a dead level paver surface is desired, full shimming with leveling plates and multiple stacking of pedestals is utilized. A greater number of plates and pedestals are required to accomplish this condition and should be estimated for accordingly. Place pavers by lowering horizontally rather than nosing into position to eliminate possible indentation of insulation on protected membrane roofing system. Align and level as work progresses. When stacking multiple pedestals, place leveling plates on top of upper pedestal, never in-between or below pedestals.
