Guardian® Paver System

A Locking Monolithic System

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.
