Cáviti Supports
Definition
Cáviti supports are designed for the construction of exterior floating floors.
They may be used with all manner of lattice grids and concrete flagstones, ceramic tiles or floating floorboards bound with wooden strips.
In basic terms, there are two support or plot typologies, non-regulated ones, with a fixed height and major bearing capacity, and regulated ones, technologically more evolved and allowing for the adjustment of heights, along with the correction of slopes depending on the project’s needs.
Within the latter scope, there are different models available according to their usage, the working heights and compression load bearing.
From the simplest model, the SC750 with 750 kg compression load bearing per support, up to the most powerful model, the SC2000, with 2,000 kg compression load bearing per support and a maximum working height, as per the manufacturing standard, of 610 mm, although heights even greater than 1.000 mm can be manufactured.
Non-regulated models are formed using geometrically squared plaques measuring 100×100 m with 10 mm thickness for the SC10 model, and 150×150 mm with 15 mm thickness for the SC15 model. Both feature the peculiarity of being stackable on top of each other, allowing for heights of up to 70 mm.

Characteristics
- Its usage is prohibited in animal facilities.
- Its usage is prohibited for road traffic.
- On gravel, cellular concrete, directly onto the ground and unprotected asphalt sheets.
- Mortar and brick supports.
- Supports in EPS or XPS insulation.
- Chlorinated rubber waterproofing, bituminous asphalt fabrics.
- Pre-cast concrete and porcelain tiles.
- Natural stone tiles.
- Wooden platforms with battens or those preformed in the workshop.
- Obtaining fully accessible floating flooring.
- Allows for installations to pass under the flooring.
- Attains completely horizontal surfaces.
- Offsets roof slopes.
- The system works through gravity, meaning the use of adhesives is not necessary.
- Separation between tiles of 4 mm.
- Enables installation maintaining the joint or joint filler.
- The system as a whole prevents premature ageing of the different roof treatments.

Assembly is swift and easy since slabs and supports are placed continuously at the same time. Once the first row has been drawn out and assembled, the location of the rest is purely mechanical, since each slab has a corresponding support. It is important to draw out the first line with strings, because the rest of the assembly depends on this initial alignment, which will be successively coupled puzzle-like.
Placement: Placement and levelling is performed using ropes and a spirit level. Levelling with laser equipment is not recommended, as possible irregularities in the tiles could lead to errors.
Adjustable models: Using these models heights from 50 mm to 670 mm are obtained, they compensate the slope from flat up to 2%.
* For greater heights or slopes, please consult our Technical Department.
Non-adjustable models: The non-adjustable model is made up of 100×100 mm square geometry plates with two different thicknesses, the 10 mm SC10 model and the 15 mm thick SC15 model. Both are stackable, thus being able to obtain heights of up to 50 mm.
