THE LARGE PARKING FORMAT
500×500 mm (20×20 Inch)
Parking Tiles
Explore 500×500 mm parking tiles—commonly known as 20×20 inch parking tiles—for large driveways, villa entrances, commercial parking and broad outdoor areas. Compare ordinary and digital designs, technical specifications, price factors and installation requirements in one place.
WHY THIS SIZE
A large-format module for open outdoor layouts.
The 500×500 mm format covers 0.25 square metre per tile, creating a broad grid with fewer joints across larger parking floors. It suits spacious driveways, villa entrances, commercial parking and open compounds where a clean, large-scale pattern is preferred.
Confirm grip, supplied thickness, tested performance, vehicle load and base design before ordering.
Large scale. Planned around open space.
The larger face gives stone, concrete and geometric patterns more room to read while reducing the number of joints. Accurate base flatness, drainage, full support and balanced perimeter cuts are especially important with this format.

BUY THE RIGHT PRODUCT
500×500 parking tiles versus ordinary outdoor floor tiles

|---|---|---|
| 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 |
