Addressing Tropical Weather Challenges, Niro Granite Launches Outscape Collection

Public infrastructure development in Indonesia emphasises functionality as well as long-term safety. With the massive revitalisation of pedestrian pathways and mass transportation facilities since 2018, the choice of surface materials has become a key determinant of urban space quality. Niro Granite, as a global granite tile producer, is responding to this need through the launch of the Outscape Collection, a range of material solutions specifically designed to tackle the challenges of extreme outdoor spaces. The quality of pedestrian facilities in Indonesia refers to the Technical Planning Guidelines from the Ministry of Public Works (PU), which mandate the use of materials with high durability and anti-slip properties. Materials that fail to meet these standards not only shorten the lifespan of infrastructure but also threaten public safety. CEO of Niro Granite Indonesia, Jimmy Liew, emphasised that the presence of this new product line is a response to those development dynamics. He sees a significant increase in the construction and renovation of public spaces, especially pedestrian areas and high-traffic zones. The Outscape Collection is presented as a granite solution that is not only strong and durable but also capable of addressing climate challenges and usage intensity in outdoor spaces. “This is part of Niro Granite’s commitment to supporting infrastructure development that is safe, sustainable, and of high aesthetic value,” said Jimmy, quoted by Kompas.com on Friday (1/5/2026). The product features three main technical pillars: durability, weather resistance, and scratch resistance. Weather resistance is particularly relevant given Indonesia’s fluctuating tropical climate, with extreme ultraviolet exposure and high rainfall. This weather resistance ensures that the material does not easily undergo structural degradation or colour changes. Aesthetically, the collection is divided into three main series: Burlington, Dash and Alloy, and Gravity, with dimensions of 60x60 cm and 60x120 cm.
