AWS Joist Plate System ™

The Joist Plate™ was developed for wood joist decks and is being used throughout the United States by contractors and homeowners alike with huge success.  Say goodbye to staining and sealing your old wood deck. Walk instead on easy to maintain, versatile concrete or natural product walking surfaces by using the Joist Plate™ System.  For retrofitting your old deck to support the weight of pavers it may be necessary to consult a structural professional. Use of 4x6" wood joists or "sistering" existing 2x6's may be needed. And pavers need to be restrained on the outside edge to prevent shifting with use.  Contact us for informational materials and installation CD.

  

 

                   Formula for Calculating Joist Plate

Example No.1

 

Example No. 2

Materials used:
24” x 24” HydraPressed Slabs            (4 SF per paver)

 

 

Materials Used:
18” x 18” HydraPressed Slabs        (2.25 SF per paver)

Square Feet Coverage:
1000 SF (20’ x 50’)
 

 

Square Feet Coverage:
800 SF (20’ x 40’)

Formulas:
1,000 SF / 4 SF = 250 Pavers & 250

AWS needed
 

 

Formulas:
800 SF / 2.25 SF = 355 Pavers & 355 AWS needed

Calculation of Perimeter (Lineal feet)
20’ x 50’ area = 140 lineal foot perimeter
140’ x 12” = 1,680”
1,680” / 24” (length of paver) = 70 pedestals
 

 

Calculation of Perimeter (Lineal feet)
20’ x 40’ area = 120 lineal foot perimeter
120’ x 12” = 1,440”
1,440” / 18 (length of paver) = 80 pedestals

Total: 250 + 70 = 320 pedestals needed

 

Total: 355 + 80 = 435  pedestals needed

Calculation of perimeter should include inner spaces such as planters
