        "content": "<p>Public infrastructure development in Indonesia emphasises\nfunctionality as well as long-term safety. With the massive\nrevitalisation of pedestrian pathways and mass transportation facilities\nsince 2018, the choice of surface materials has become a key determinant\nof urban space quality. Niro Granite, as a global granite tile producer,\nis responding to this need through the launch of the Outscape\nCollection, a range of material solutions specifically designed to\ntackle the challenges of extreme outdoor spaces. The quality of\npedestrian facilities in Indonesia refers to the Technical Planning\nGuidelines from the Ministry of Public Works (PU), which mandate the use\nof materials with high durability and anti-slip properties. Materials\nthat fail to meet these standards not only shorten the lifespan of\ninfrastructure but also threaten public safety. CEO of Niro Granite\nIndonesia, Jimmy Liew, emphasised that the presence of this new product\nline is a response to those development dynamics. He sees a significant\nincrease in the construction and renovation of public spaces, especially\npedestrian areas and high-traffic zones. The Outscape Collection is\npresented as a granite solution that is not only strong and durable but\nalso capable of addressing climate challenges and usage intensity in\noutdoor spaces. \u201cThis is part of Niro Granite\u2019s commitment to supporting\ninfrastructure development that is safe, sustainable, and of high\naesthetic value,\u201d said Jimmy, quoted by Kompas.com on Friday (1\/5\/2026).\nThe product features three main technical pillars: durability, weather\nresistance, and scratch resistance. Weather resistance is particularly\nrelevant given Indonesia\u2019s fluctuating tropical climate, with extreme\nultraviolet exposure and high rainfall. This weather resistance ensures\nthat the material does not easily undergo structural degradation or\ncolour changes. Aesthetically, the collection is divided into three main\nseries: Burlington, Dash and Alloy, and Gravity, with dimensions of\n60x60 cm and 60x120 cm.<\/p>",
