Now showcased at London Build, the UK’s leading construction show

Zoontjens International B.V. proudly presents the A1 Smart-Ped. A fully certified and patented rooftop paving system that sets new standards for wind uplift resistance, fire safety, and architectural freedom. This innovation will be on display at London Build, taking place on 19 and 20 November.

Safe and smart
The A1 Smart-Ped is the only metal pedestal system that works with adhesion, not mechanically fixed, using a marine-proven adhesive with exceptional durability and proven performance. It offers a complete solution that meets and exceeds modern fire safety regulations, achieving certified A1 and A2 classifications. This system is ideal for architects and contractors seeking a safe, elegant, and cost-effective solution for roof terraces and podium decks where a non-combustible solution is specified.

Zoontjens have over 50 years of developing products to create exceptional rooftop landscapes and roofscapes. Over the last eight years, Zoontjens International B.V. has uniquely delivered proven safety with its bonded plastic fixplate lock system (even on high-rise buildings in coastal zones) with zero storm-related damage. Now, Zoontjens introduces this next leap in rooftop paving. The A1 Smart-Ped is the result of five years of focused development and is protected by two international patents.

Unlike conventional rail systems, A1 Smart-Ped offers:

  • Proven wind uplift resistance, validated by independent testing
  • Certified fire safety with A1 and A2 classifications using marine-grade adhesive
  • Invisible support for clean joint lines and uninterrupted design aesthetics
  • Faster installation with reduced labour requirements
  • Cost effective solutions when considering holistic material and labour cost

Real-world success in central London

At 40 Broadway, a prestigious location in the heart of London, Zoontjens is installing over 600 square meters of roof terraces and balconies across four levels; all using the A1 Smart-Ped system. The client, Pritchard & Pritchard, chose A1 Smart-Ped for its speed, reliability, and ease of use.

“These pedestals are really easy to work with. The best we’ve worked with until now! We were looking for a solution that saves time without compromising quality. Due to the location we were concerned about wind uplift and we needed a non combustible solution, which would perform in arduous circumstances for the lifespan of the building, giving us complete confidence. The A1 Smart-Ped delivered exactly that.”
Cristian Prell, Pritchard & Pritchard
