Patent attributes
A precision height and slope adjustable flooring substrate system for providing a truly planar array of fiber reinforced polymer structural panels so as to form a lightweight deck surface for the attachment of a surfacing material, such as a quarried stone, tile, concrete paver of the like to the top of the panel, providing a water proof stone deck surface that maintains the integrity of the underlying deck structure and can be precisely leveled without requiring substantial structural support. The system utilizes various interconnected plates, spacers, adapters and stanchions to achieve the correct height and slope compensation to achieve a truly horizontal, planar deck for the structural panel. With the use of specialized adapters on plate members, they can be attached above or below dimensional lumber to allow for the attachment to a framed open deck or to install a framed open deck above a planar deck.
