Raised floor system
- Porcelain stoneware tiles 2 cm thick;
- Fixed or self-levelling pedestals;
- Optional accessories to enhance the raised paving’s safety and appearance.
In terms of appearance, it provides a continuous paving with a constant gradient, without any visible water drainage features (e.g. grids or drains).
The slight gap between slabs allows surplus water to run off quickly and effectively. Easy to clean. (See cleaning and care / installation advice on page 48)
Less weight on floors, roofs and balconies, thanks to elimination of the final layer of screed and adhesive.
Frostproof, the system absorbs thermal expansion of the screed, direct cause of failures of outdoor pavings installed by the traditional method.
The cavity between floor and screed provides improved thermal insulation.
Enhances soundproofing.
Pipes are concealed but easily inspected.
Fast installation.
Recyclable.
Guaranteed lower installation and care costs, more or less infinite lifetime.

RAISED INSTALLATION WITH METAL SUBSTRUCTURE
Area+ -Metal Frame is the exclusive Kronos system that enables the raised installation even of narrow planks and mixed sizes.
A system comprising:
- Kronos 2 cm porcelain stoneware;
- Exclusive, patented pedestal: Queen Joist;
- Galvanised Steel or Aluminium Joists.

EXCLUSIVE PEDESTAL FOR RAISED FLOOR SYSTEM: QUEEN JOIST
The special head designed to support the aluminium joist ensures excellent results in terms of safety, rapid installation and paving surface stability. The aluminium joints fit naturally into the heads of the pedestals thanks to the fins parallel to the joist direction, which secure them easily and firmly.
RAISED FLOOR SYSTEM PEDESTAL: QUEEN JOIST

h 90 – 126 mm
h 144 – 254 mm
The special 4-way pedestal head allows the joist to be inserted horizontally or vertically, thus also enabling the creation of cross-linked substructures. Installation of the cross-linked substructure is recommended whenever it is necessary to create a reinforced paving. This type of structure stiffens and reinforces the paving, increasing its static and dynamic load resistance.
WIND-BRACING SYSTEM FOR RAISED FLOORS
Kronos Ceramiche has performed various studies and tests to analyse the effects of wind on raised pavings in the wind tunnel of the FIU International Hurricane Research Center in Florida.
The system we have developed, using the Area+ System, helps to produce a safe paving, mechanically secured by a clip to the substructure, which is in turn mechanically connected to the pedestal.

PEDESTAL ACCESSORIES
QUEEN PLUS
This is an additional red component of 7 mm which converts the Queen and Queen Joist pedestals from fixed to self-levelling type, with tilting head. It compensates for substrate inclines of up to 5%.
QUEEN TOWER
Use of the T (23 mm) or TL (100 mm) extension allows all heights required to be reached in addition to the chosen pedestal. It enables greater flexibility for faster, safer installation and also overcomes various problems which may arise from measurements not foreseen in the design phase.
RAISED FLOOR SYSTEM ACCESSORIES FOR ENHANCED SAFETY
If the paving is intended to take heavy loads or for commercial purposes and for rises of over 20 cm in general, the application of additional safety systems is highly recommended to reduce the risk of injury in the event of tile failure.
SHOCK CONTROL 2.0
SHOCK CONTROL® is a protective membrane for tiles. It is applied to the back of the tile to increase the mechanical strength of the finished paving. Its structure prevents slabs from collapsing.
METAL TRAY
Galvanised sheet steel tray with downturned edges on all four sizes, bent in half for increased strength in the underside of a 2 cm paver. The tray is able to support the full weight of a person, even if they jump on a broken tile, and no bending or sagging of the edge of the steel tray has been observed.
