With these tiles you can effortlessly create a durable, stylish base for your outdoor space.

Versatile applications for any outdoor space

The 45x90 cm format opens up a world of possibilities for various outdoor spaces:

• Smaller patios: This size does not feel overwhelming in modest spaces, while still creating a sense of space
• Steps and risers: Perfect for covering patio steps, easier to work with due to its more manageable length
• Organic garden designs: Create winding paths or round patio shapes that are more difficult to achieve with larger pavers
• Garden Paths: Create elegant routes through your garden that follow the natural flow of your outdoor space
• Around ponds: Create flowing shapes around water features for a harmonious whole
• Vertical Accents: Use as wall cladding for outdoor kitchens or garden walls for a consistent design language

Design possibilities that inspire

The 45x90 cm format is particularly versatile and lends itself to various laying patterns:

• Half-brick pattern: Create a dynamic effect by laying the tiles in a half-brick pattern, which brings movement and flow to your patio
• Herringbone Pattern: Lay a classic herringbone with a modern twist for an outdoor space that instantly adds character
• Random pattern: Combine with smaller sizes from the same Ark collection for a playful effect that still radiates tranquility
• Linear pattern: Lay the tiles in parallel lines for a clean, minimalist look

These Ark Silver tiles fit perfectly with various garden styles:

• Japanese Zen garden: The subdued shade of gray forms a calm base, perfect to combine with bamboo, gravel and ornamental grasses
• Modern City Garden: Create a sleek, low-maintenance outdoor space with geometric shapes and architectural planting
• Country Cottage Garden: Contrast modern paving with lush, informal planting for a surprisingly harmonious whole

Material advantages that convince

The 2 cm thick porcelain offers concrete advantages that will give you years of pleasure:

• More practical to use: The 45x90 format is lighter and easier to handle, allowing you to do more yourself or for installers to work faster
• Completely frost-resistant: The extremely low water absorption (<0.05%) prevents moisture from penetrating and causing cracks in frost
• Colourfast and UV-resistant: The silver-grey shade does not fade, even after years in the Dutch sun
• Anti-slip properties: The slightly textured surface provides sufficient grip, even when the tiles are wet
• Low maintenance: The dense structure repels dirt, moss and algae, so simple cleaning is often sufficient

Tips for the best results

• Lay the tiles lengthwise on your patio to visually extend the space
• Experiment with different laying directions to visualize the effect beforehand
• Alternate pieces from different boxes to ensure a natural variation in shades
• Choose a narrow, light gray joint (2-3 mm) for a modern, continuous effect
• Combine with pebbles or grit in a contrasting colour to create accents
• Use tile supports on unstable surfaces or for perfect water drainage on balconies
• Contrast with vibrant green tones in your planting to bring the gray to life

Technical details

Frequently asked questions about Ark Silver 45x90 garden tiles

Can I use this tile outside in the Dutch climate?

Certainly! These Ark Silver tiles are specifically designed for the Benelux climate with its typical rain, frost and temperature fluctuations. The 2 cm thickness and the extremely low water absorption (<0.05%) ensure that these tiles are completely frost-resistant and can easily survive our winters. The matt finish with light texture also offers sufficient grip, even in rainy weather or morning mist.

What are the advantages of this 45x90 format compared to the 60x120 format?

The 45x90 format offers several practical advantages: it is lighter and therefore easier to handle during installation, it is better suited to smaller or irregular spaces, and it offers more possibilities for creative laying patterns such as herringbone. At the same time, it retains the modern, rectangular look that is so characteristic of contemporary garden designs. For smaller patios, this format prevents the space from being "taken over" by oversized tiles, while still creating a spatial effect by limiting grout lines.

How do I clean these garden tiles efficiently?

Maintenance is surprisingly easy. For regular cleaning, water with a neutral cleaner is sufficient. Avoid acidic or chlorinated agents that can damage the top layer. For stubborn dirt or green deposits, you can use a specific tile cleaner or a high-pressure cleaner with a wide jet on a low setting. Due to the dense structure of the porcelain, stains do not penetrate, which prevents staining. Special cleaning agents are available for removing specific stains (such as barbecue grease) - ask our advisors for advice.

Can I combine different sizes from the Ark Silver collection?

Absolutely! Combining different sizes from the same Ark collection is an excellent way to create a dynamic, playful effect. For example, you can combine this 45x90 size with the 60x60 or 30x60 variant for a random pattern with a modern touch. Please note that when mixing sizes, you should take modularity into account: ensure that the joint lines continue for a harmonious whole. Our garden specialists can help you with a laying plan that optimally combines the different sizes.
