Why use adjustable house stumps
Traditionally when a building application required an elevated floor, the choices were to use timber, concrete or brick piers as the support stumps. When steel posts became an option, they were fabricated to a fixed height from the site measurements and would often be requiring modification (packing or re-welding) during the installation in order to achieve a level sub-floor.
Now there is the superior option of adjustable house stumps, designed by LevelMaster, which remove a lot of the headache and cost that traditional stumps impose. Being able to use a single large shifter to change the stump height by up to 120mm, allows the user to achieve a level floor faster and without the hassle of fabrication. LevelMaster have also had multiple engineers test our products, and they are always coming back with results showing how strong our stumps are (15 tonne downforce capacity). LevelMaster offers you a product that matches our company motto of Stronger. Easier. Faster. See our house stump shop
