Plaza decks typically consist of a concrete structural deck, waterproofing membrane, insulation, and pavers or topping slab systems. Once the waterproofing membrane has been installed, a 60 psi insulation board is installed. This gives a stable base onto which the pedestals and pavers can be installed. The architectural pavers are set on rubber tabs or pedestals that can be specified in a variety of colors and finishes. The use of insulation and pedestals reduces the overall weight of the system versus the older topping slab approach. It also provides insulation for a conditioned space below (roughly R-IO).
