'I want to beautifully renovate my concrete garden or parking lot, but demolition is extensive and costly.'
It is not uncommon to pass on renovations for such reasons.
In spring 2026, Design Garden Inc. launched a new floor finish, a 'painted tile finish called "Moru Tile"' (trademark pending), which can be applied without destroying existing concrete.
Despite being a thin coating of about 2-3mm, it can handle vehicle traffic.
This installation, which requires no demolition, provides a new option for exterior renovation that achieves both cost efficiency and design.

Development Background: The idea of 'Not Destroying'
While real tiles offer a high degree of perfection as an exterior floor finish, several challenges existed:
- Cost hurdles
- Design constraints due to standard sizes
- Height adjustments with the existing dirt floor
- The need for demolition and repouring
Under these circumstances, development started from the idea of 'Is it possible to realize the design of a floor by a method other than pasting?'
'Moru Tile' was devised as a new installation method to express a tile-like design using mortar.
What is Moru Tile?
It is not a substitute for tile or stone, but 'another option' that can be chosen depending on the application and conditions.
We propose it as one of the options to select the optimal material for each site.
Features
- Renovation without destroying -
Because it can be applied directly over the existing dirt floor, demolition and disposal costs can be kept down.
Free tile design
Unbound by standard sizes, a tile allocation design tailored to the space is possible.
- 600x1200
- 500x1000
- 900 square
- Original allocation, etc.
It can be designed according to the space.
Textured finish
The natural unevenness from the trowel finish and the matte texture achieve a rugged and textured expression.
Benefits
- Reduces demolition and disposal by utilizing existing materials
- Improves exterior texture while keeping costs down
- Elevates the impression of the entire space
Compatible with both New Construction and Renovation
Moru Tile is compatible with both new construction and renovations.
It becomes a particularly effective option in cases where tile installation was difficult due to height constraints of the existing floor.
Color Options
We offer a color variation of 7 colors in total.
Color selection matching the housing and exterior design is possible.
Price Position
Estimated to be about 30% of the cost compared to tile installation.
*Varies depending on conditions.
Specifications
Thickness: Approx. 3mm
Base: Compatible with existing concrete
Vehicle Entry: Allowed
Finish: Topcoat applied
Representative Comment
There was a problem of having 'few options' for floor renovations.
I felt there were many cases where people gave up due to costs, especially since there was no other way to achieve a tile-like design other than 'pasting' it.
Moru Tile overcomes such constraints and provides a new option while balancing design, cost, and workability.
We will continue to make valuable exterior proposals based on voices from the field.
Moru Tile is not a replacement for tile or stone.
It is 'another option' to choose according to site conditions, budget, and design direction.
■ Future Developments
As a construction brand, Moru Tile will strive to improve quality through repeated field verification and improvements.
We plan to expand our color variations, improve construction precision, and develop a broader range of proposals.
