Raised installation
Video
The feet can be installed on either a rigid base (for example on slabs) or on gravel.
Step by step
Sealing
For installation on flat covering surfaces it is necessary to carry out a thorough sealing of the substrate
Cleaning
Before installation, carry out a thorough cleaning of the substrate
Place the supports
Place the supports on the substrate (we recommend a maximum height of 10 cm)
Cables and pipes
Position cables and pipes at this stage if required
Place on supports
Place the Novoceram Outdoor Plus slabs on the feet supports that have previously been installed
Planar surface
During the installation regularly check the planarity of the surface.
Adjusting key
Use the adjusting key to obtain a planar surface
Can be walked on immediately
Novoceram Outdoor Plus slabs installed onto feet can be walked on immediately after laying. Novoceram Outoor Plus supports have been tested to withstand loads of over 1 tonneSupports for raised installation
FIXED SUPPORT
Minimum height from slab: 12 mm. A 3 mm thick levelling disk is available to increase the thickness of one or more areas of the support. The base is perforated at the centre to improve adaptation to the laying surface. The supports can be easily broken into four parts according to the laying scheme and are provided with spacers to create joints between the tiles.
E434 - H 12 mm
E435 - H 15 mm
E436 - H 20 mm
E448 - DISQUE NIVELANT 3 mm
ADJUSTABLE SUPPORT
Fine height adjustment without having to remove the superimposed floor. To lay near corners or walls, break two or four of the support spacers. Near sharp edges, distance the supports from the wall.
E437 - H 25-40 mm
E438 - H 40-70 mm
E439 - H 60-100 mm
ADJUSTABLE SELF-LEVELLING SUPPORT
The self-levelling support can compensate for gradients of up to 5%. To lay near corners or walls, break two or four of the support spacers. Near sharp edges, distance the supports from the wall.
E442 - H 37,5-50 mm
E443 - H 50-75 mm
E444 - H 75-100 mm
Warning
Novoceram recommends the use of clamps with an height of up to 10 cm.
If a higher cant is required, Novoceram recommends gluing at the bottom of the slab a fiber glass mesh or a galvanised steel, with the aim of preventing the shear failure in the floor in case of slab breakage.

Proper drainage is a key aspect in any architectural project. You must therefore take into account some aspects in advance to avoid water stagnation and related issues that may negatively affect the structure.
Novoceram Outdoor Plus offers all the advantages of top quality porcelain tiles: it is frost-proof and does not absorb water.
In order to avoid problems related to water stagnation and to achieve optimal drainage of the flooring, it is advisable to adopt certain measures in the design phase:
1.Prepare the appropriate transverse or longitudinal gradients (1.5% – 2%) to be created during the levelling phase or during compacting.
2. Add an additional layer made of special draining materials. Novoceram Outdoor Plus ensures the advantages so typical of porcelain tiles: they are frost resistant and have a water absorption of practically zero. This can, irrespective of the installation method, result in standing water collecting on the extremity of the slabs. We recommend joints of at least 5mm.
In the case of terraced roofs located above inhabited areas or similar, it is always necessary to provide a complete system of layers for the realization of a flat roof with the correct slope, in accordance with current building rules and regulations.

The recommendations for installation are provided as examples of the type of chosen application: Novoceram recommends to refer to the applicable regulations in your country to carry out a state-of-the-art installation.
If the application of the 20 mm slabs foresees the ceramic product used in structural installations, the project engineer and/or customer must carefully assess the project requirements with regard to the technical specifications of the slabs. To prevent the risk of damage or injury, the manufacturer recommends:
– with regard to a raised floor installation a ceramic slab may fracture on impact if a heavy object falls on it from any significant height. Therefore the manufacturer recommends to check the specific intended use before starting the installation and to follow table for raised installation provided below. In certain conditions, reinforcing must be applied on the back of the slabs (fiberglass double mesh) supplied and applied by the manufacturer;
– with reference to any dry installation system of flooring above the ground level, the manufacturer recommends to comply with local regulations and conditions of use with regard to wind-load, loadbearing, seismic events, etc. Failure to comply with these recommendations may lead to improper use of the product and could cause serious damage or injury.

Indications for builders, builders and designers
Note: For any detail and technical specification concerning the galvanized steel sheet, please contact Novoceram. Novoceram is responsible only if it supplies the whole system (tile + fiberglass double mesh). Novoceram cannot be held responsible for reinforcing systems that has not supplied. In case of breakage, tile must be replaced immediately. In order to achieve a dreinage of the floor plan, it is necessary to create the adequate cross and longitudinal inclinations. Even putting aside the distinctive advantages of using porcelain stoneware, we remind you that Novoceram Outdoor Plus has awater absorption rate that is almost zero, and this characteristic maket it frost proof. This can lead to water deposit in certain specific areas, in particular on the edge of the slab, irrespective of a state-of-the-art installation of the material. Novoceram recommend to allow for at least 5mm grout .
