We often get asked about the differences between adjustable pedestals (such as the A-PED) and rail/joist systems (AR-SYSTEMS & REIF DuraLink), since they seemingly fulfil the same function: supporting the application of raised floor areas.    However, different situations may call for different solutions (and in some cases, a combination!). In this post, we aim...
