High wind and special site conditions require an outstanding paver
system. Severe site conditions have often ruled out the use of pavers on pedestals for beneath the surface water drainage.
Hanover® has developed a new roof paver system especially for the most severe conditions, that also requires an elevated
roof paver pedestal system. This system (U.S. Patent #6,604,330 and other Foreign patents pending) is made up of a unique 3
piece pedestal and a shaped paver that, together, will "lock down" and unitize the entire roof paver surface.
The Guardian® System is compatible with all other Hanover® pedestal types —
The Elevator™, Support
Pedestal, Leveling Plates and Compensator®. This permits a variety of
combinations and makes many solutions available for roof paver installations.
The Guardian® System provides a needed solution for those unique roof paver/pedestal installations requiring the most from an elevated paver surface. This system will
provide a pedestal installation with a monolithic paver surface for high wind conditions.
The Guardian® System combines a specially designed Hanover® roof paver, made to the industry highest standards, with a uniquely designed pedestal unit. The Hanover® paver used for the
system is 23 1/2" x 23 1/2" x 2" and is available in a variety of colors and textures. This high strength paver meets or exceeds
all ASTM requirements for concrete unit paving.
The Guardian® System consists of the highest quality paver and a three-piece pedestal designed to work integrally
together. It is designed to prevent horizontal and vertical movement of the roof paver, and at the same time, to create a
monolithic system. The Guardian® Pedestal has a square top that allows its bolt to pass through to a base beneath, while
fitting into a recessed grooved portion of the Guardian® Paver. The Guardian® Paver is also specifically shaped to solidly
secure itself into the pedestal base. When tightening the screw in the top plate of the Guardian® System, only secure to a
snug position. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Paver movement is contained and locked into place. The inner workings of the roof assembly
are protected and hidden from view, while allowing easy access to the roof/waterproofing system for making repairs or
performing maintenance procedures.
The Guardian® Pedestal System is made of high density polyethylene and maintains a 1/8" joint for the roof system. The
Pedestal Top Plate is 6" square. The Bolt is 3/4" in diameter, with its length determined by the paver thickness. The Base is
7 1/2" in diameter.
The Guardian® Pedestal System is now available in all of Hanover's standard paver colors and
Glacier White. When reflectivity properties are important (i.e. LEED installations), Glacier White has the highest values. The standard
color for the unit is black which can be used in the most extreme UV conditions.
