Outdoor living: new Alkern regional catalogs

These 2026 catalogs, true design tools, offer a structured and intuitive overview of the Alkern product range, organized into sections dedicated to gardens, patios, pools, décor, and accessories. The meticulously crafted illustrations showcase materials, textures, and atmospheres, guiding both landscape professionals and homeowners in designing sustainable, harmonious outdoor spaces perfectly suited to their environment.

A strengthened environmental approach

These 2026 editions highlight a significant milestone in Alkern's environmental commitment. Indeed, all Alkern permeable paving slabs presented are now covered by Environmental and Health Declarations (FDES), guaranteeing reliable, standardized, and transparent environmental information on their performance throughout their entire life cycle. This provides assurance for specifiers and project owners committed to responsible projects that comply with current requirements.

Regional catalogues closely aligned with local usage.

Each catalog was designed as a practical tool, incorporating educational content dedicated to implementation, maintenance, and best installation practices, to effectively support project owners at every stage of the process. The North Central East, Greater West, and South East catalogs contain 212, 216, and 204 pages respectively. 6.730, 4.225, and 5.855 copies were printed, of which 1.630, 1.225, and 1.005 were sent directly to Alkern's professional clients along with their price lists. They are also available to view and download on the Alkern website, providing immediate access to the entire product range.

A selection of new features for 2026, designed for each region

The Alkern 2026 regional catalogs highlight targeted innovations designed to meet the specific uses, styles, and sensibilities of each region. In the North Central East edition, the major new feature is the introduction of classic paving stones in multiple formats. Available in three complementary sizes (30 × 22,5 cm, 22,5 × 15 cm, and 15 × 15 cm – 6 cm thick), they offer unprecedented design freedom, ideal for dynamic and graphic outdoor spaces. The Newhedge paving stone becomes a true creative tool for landscape designers. This edition also includes a new anthracite color in the range of smooth, interlocking edging stones. In the Southeast edition, the T7 gravel-effect slabs are available in a yellow and blue color scheme for a natural and refined look, particularly suited to outdoor projects exposed to strong sunlight.

It should be noted that all three catalogs share a common set of new products. The Rustique Re-Source® slabs are now available in a new sand color, a soft and warm shade, while also incorporating recycled aggregates (a minimum of 25% of the total material). Following this same principle, the carbon footprint of the Universo Re-Source® pedestal support slabs is significantly reduced thanks to the development of innovative formulations based on reconstituted binders. This process allows for a significant decrease in the percentage of clinker, a major contributor to concrete carbon emissions. The paving ranges are also evolving with the standardization of AQUAFIL® permeable paving formats across all regions (10 x 20 cm and 20 x 20 cm – 8 cm thick), as well as a new Hydrojoint paving format (20 x 30 cm – 8 cm thick with 15 mm spacers), expanding layout possibilities while facilitating adaptation to site constraints. Finally, the decorative palette is expanded with a new white color in the range of molded pillar caps, complemented by the arrival of a new angle for Ghisa facings, ensuring neat finishes and aesthetic continuity of the works.

With these 2026 regional catalogs, Alkern reaffirms its commitment to offering a comprehensive, coherent, and sustainable range of products and services, combining design, technical performance, environmental responsibility, and local focus. More than just sales materials, these publications serve as true design guides for contemporary outdoor projects.
