Rooftop & Pedestal Systems
Porcelain Deck Systems for Rooftops, Flat Roofs and Raised Floor Applications
Mbrico’s porcelain rooftop pedestal systems are engineered for flat-roofs and raised floor applications where structural performance, drainage, and long-term stability are critical.
Unlike traditional pedestal paver systems that rely on loose-laid surfaces on corner pedestals, Mbrico tiles mechanically lock into a track-based system and click adapter, creating a stable, self-spacing, and free-draining deck assembly.
The result is a high-performance zero-wobble surface designed for rooftop environments, amenity decks, and elevated outdoor spaces where movement, water management, and durability cannot be compromised.

Mbrico FAQs Answered
Installation
Step 1: Verify the roof waterproofing surface
Verify the roof waterproofing surface is at least 2 5/8″ below any clearance obstructions. Verify drainage.
Step 2: Click 12' tongue and groove track
Click 12′ tongue and groove track onto pedestal tops. Pedestals spaced 30″ on center under track.
Step 3: The 12' aluminum track provides straight and level lines
The 12′ aluminum track provides straight and level lines for faster and more precise installation of the tile row.
Step 4: Adjust pedestals as needed
Adjust pedestals as needed for heights and slope, resulting in level tile floor when complete.
Step 5: Fit grooved / kerfed edge of tile into tongue of track.
Fit grooved / kerfed edge of tile into tongue of track. Snug all tiles into track for perfect self-spacing 1/8″ drainage gaps.
Step 6: Repeat steps
Repeat steps above until completed.
Wind Uplift Resistant (Miami-Dade Approved)
Mechanically-fastened system creates an interlocking, free-draining surface engineered to resist high wind conditions, including hurricane-prone rooftop environments.
Easy-to-install
Engineered components and track-based alignment ensure consistent spacing and eliminate movement, delivering a faster, more accurate installation for skilled crews.
Freeze-Thaw Stability
Extremely low water absorption (0.05%) prevents cracking, shifting, or surface damage in exposed rooftop and cold climate environments
Class A Fire Rated System
Mbrico meets the highest fire performance classification, providing superior resistance to flame spread and smoke development in rooftop and elevated applications
