THE BALANCED PARKING FORMAT

Parking Tiles
Explore 400×400 mm parking tiles—commonly known as 16×16 inch parking tiles—for driveways, residential car parking and outdoor projects. Compare ordinary and digital designs, technical specifications, price factors and installation requirements in one place.
WHY THIS SIZE
A balanced format for confident outdoor layouts.
The 400×400 mm format offers a balanced square module for residential parking, driveways and broader entrance areas. Compared with smaller formats, it can create a calmer surface rhythm with fewer joints while remaining practical to plan around edges and site features.
Choose the visual style first, then confirm grip, thickness, expected vehicle load and installation conditions before ordering.
Balanced scale. Designed around the square.
The larger square supports straight, diagonal and repeating layouts with a more open visual rhythm. The final pattern, joint width and quantity depend on the selected tile design and installation plan.

16×16 PARKING TILE COLLECTIONS
Choose ordinary or digital 400×400 parking tiles.
Both naming systems belong on this page: 400×400 mm is the technical size, while 16×16 inch is the familiar search and market term.
01 / PRACTICAL DIRECTION
16×16 Ordinary Parking Tiles
16×16 ordinary parking tiles suit medium and large driveways where buyers want practical coverage with fewer joints than a 300×300 layout. The balanced square format supports straight and diagonal laying plans.
Compare: surface grip, supplied thickness, vehicle-use test data, tiles per box and batch shade.
02 / DESIGN DIRECTION
16×16 Digital Parking Tiles
16×16 digital parking tiles give stone, wood and geometric designs more visual space across the larger 400×400 mm face. They suit broader entrances, garden parking and commercial outdoor areas where pattern scale matters.
Compare: pattern repeat, colour variation, finish, surface sample and batch availability.
WHERE 400×400 PARKING TILES FIT
Plan the tile around the real site.
Use the balanced 400×400 mm format for broader entrances, medium or large driveways, garden parking and outdoor compounds where fewer joints and an open pattern are preferred. Confirm slope, vehicle type, traffic frequency and base preparation before selecting a 16×16 parking tile.

BUY THE RIGHT PRODUCT
400×400 parking tiles versus ordinary outdoor floor tiles
A rugged-looking surface is not enough. Ask whether the quoted tile is intended for vehicle areas and request the relevant technical data for the exact product.
| Selection point | 400×400 parking tile | Ordinary outdoor tile |
|---|---|---|
| Intended use | Specified for parking and driveway applications | May be intended mainly for foot traffic |
| Load check | Match tile and base to vehicle conditions | Vehicle performance may be unspecified |
| Wet-area grip | Confirm tested surface performance | A matte appearance alone does not prove grip |
| Before purchase | Review specification and batch documents | Check whether parking use is expressly supported |
