Dbase Ceramic
Large porcelain tiles, under 3 cm in total.
Outdoor porcelain stoneware tiles only 9 mm thick sit on a 15 mm draining base: the whole floor is about 27–28 mm high, against about 2 cm for the tile alone in traditional systems.
How it works
The 50 x 50 cm polypropylene base modules interlock over a drainage fabric and spread the load evenly, which is what lets a thin 9 mm tile be used outdoors. The tiles are laid dry on rubber pads, with no adhesive and no screed.
Features
The main points of the system at a glance.
Large formats
Tiles of 60 x 60, 60 x 120 and 80 x 80 cm, with R10 A+B or R11 slip resistance.
Low weight
About 27 kg/m² for the complete floor.
Removable
Tiles and bases lift out for maintenance of the layers underneath; cables can run beneath.
Where it fits
Terraces, balconies, roofs and renovations of existing paving, on flat non-draining surfaces.

Drains through
The base drains rain away beneath the tiles, so water does not pool on the surface.
Quick to lay
Light parts, easy cutting and dry laying shorten the time on site.
Dry installation
No glue, screed or wet work: the modules click together and can be lifted again for access to the layers below.
2-year warranty
Active Shade backs these systems with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
