Creating seamless indoor-outdoor transitions has become a defining feature of modern residential and commercial design. Flush thresholds, level-entry access and clean architectural lines all contribute to a more connected and functional outdoor environment. 

Achieving these details can be challenging where build-up space is limited. Tight door thresholds, low-clearance balconies and constrained rooftop applications often leave little room for traditional support systems. 

Nurapad and Star.T are designed specifically for these situations, providing reliable support where every millimetre counts. 

Why Low-Profile Support Matters 

Reducing the space required beneath decking or paving gives designers and installers greater flexibility when working around door thresholds, waterproofing systems and existing floor levels. 

This can simplify detailing, improve accessibility and make it easier to integrate outdoor surfaces with surrounding structures. In constrained applications, low-profile support solutions can also help avoid costly design changes. 

Nurapad: Simple Support for Timber and Composite Decks 

Some timber and composite deck projects do not have sufficient clearance for adjustable pedestals. In these situations, Nurapad provides a simple and effective support solution. 

The Nurapad is a 10mm polypropylene disc designed to support timber or aluminium joists and bearers up to 100mm wide. Suitable for use on any stable, non-eroding surface, it creates a protective interface between the joist and waterproof membrane or surface while providing reliable load distribution. 

Nurapads do not need to be fixed to the substrate. Instead, they are simply secured directly to the joist, bearer or aluminium frame using suitable fixings. 

Key Benefits 

Where additional height is required, Nurapads can be stacked or combined with 5mm Nurapad Extenders and Nurajack Shims to achieve support heights up to 30mm. 

This makes Nurapad a practical option for low-height decking applications where only minor adjustment is required. 

Star.T: Adjustable Support for Tile and Paver Decks 

Nurajack Star.T provides precise adjustment while maintaining one of the lowest starting heights in the Nurajack range. 

Starting at just 8mm, Star.T is adjustable from 8mm to 15mm and can be extended to a maximum height of 30mm using 5mm Star.B bases. 

This adjustability makes it easier to accommodate uneven substrates, minor level variations and complex threshold details without increasing the overall build-up height. 

Key Benefits 

Where substrates incorporate falls, Star.T Slope Correctors can be used to compensate for the slope while maintaining a level finished surface above. 

Fine-Tuning Low-Height Builds 

Whether you are installing decking over a waterproof membrane, creating a flush balcony threshold or working within a constrained rooftop build-up, Nurapad and Star.T provide practical solutions for low-clearance construction. 

Nurapad offers simple fixed-height support for timber and aluminium framing, while Star.T provides low-profile adjustability where precise levelling is required for tiles or pavers.  

Together, they simplify low-clearance construction while maintaining drainage performance, protecting waterproof membranes and helping deliver a clean, professional finish.
