False floor and method and device for the installation thereof

A method for the installation of a false floor above a bare floor with false-floor supports that are placed in a regular grid pattern on the bare floor, on which supports floor panels are arranged alongside one another in rows, comprising the steps of:

• a. determining mounting positions for the false-floor supports and positioning the false-floor supports according to the mounting positions;
• b. determining at least partially a mounting plane lying at a mounting height above the bare floor;
• c. guiding the false-floor supports to be installed towards the mounting plane until a part thereof or a floor panel mounted on the false-floor supports is positioned at least approximately at the mounting height;
• d. providing pedestals, the pedestals composed of a solidifying pedestal material binding to the bare floor and which project beyond the mounting plane, at the mounting positions before, during or after the positioning of the false-floor supports;
• and
• e. holding each of the false-floor supports in a respective one of the pedestals until the pedestal has solidified and, if not already present, mounting the floor panels on the false-floor supports.
