Apparatus for minimizing wind uplift effects upon a roofing or decking system

A method for minimizing uplift created by wind force on a roofing or decking system, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of paver bricks onto a platform or support surface;
• attaching an adaptive component to each corner of each paver brick on an inner facing surface thereof;
• disposing the paver brick on a platform, wherein the adaptive components create an air gap between the paver bricks and the platform in order to minimize wind uplift forces.

An adaptive component that minimizes the effects of wind uplift in a roofing or decking system, the adaptive component comprising:

• an upper surface and an opposing lower surface in which the upper surface includes a recessed corner section and an adhesive strip disposed over substantially the entire upper surface with the exception of the recessed corner section for attachment to an underside of a paver brick at a corner thereof, wherein a plurality of the adaptive components placed at respective corners of a plurality of paver bricks creates an air gap between the paver bricks and a platform for minimizing wind uplift effects upon the roofing or decking system.
