Wind Uplift: Profilitec’s Uptec Raised Floor and Pedestal system also offers an optional Wind Uplift Accessory. As of November 2019, there is no National Standard nor Code Enforcement articles that can be communicated and advertised as to when it would be necessary to include this accessory within your Raised Floor Pedestal installation.

Raised Pedestal Pavers: At this time there are no specific standards for outdoor Raised Floors using porcelain paving. We recommend that that the architect, engineer and customer access the projects requirements first and then contact Dal‐Tile and/or Profilitec for additional information regarding design and specification options.
