Bigger arrowhead

Question

I am using the tikzlibrary decorations.markings to put arrowhead on arbitrary places on some lines. My code is the following:

\begin{tikzpicture}[arrowmark/.style 2 args={decoration={markings,mark=at position #1 with \arrow{#2}}}]
\draw[
    postaction={decorate},
    arrowmark={.15}{ >},
    ] (0,1) to (3,1);
\end{tikzpicture}

Now I want to make the arrowhead a bit bigger and a bit thicker. I read some hints in the manual and several questions here but I can't figure out how to implement this in my code.

Welcome to TeX.SX! A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it). — Jesse, Sep 30 '14 at 13:10

Load arrows.meta tikz library` and you can tweak lot of things like length, width, scale, scale length, scale width etc.

Here is the code:

\documentclass[tikz,border=5]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings,arrows.meta}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[arrowmark/.style 2 args={decoration={markings,mark=at position #1 with \arrow{#2}}}]
\draw[
    postaction={decorate},
    arrowmark={.15}{>[scale=2,line width=1pt,line join=miter]},
    ] (0,1) to (3,1);
\draw[
    postaction={decorate},
    arrowmark={.15}{>[scale=1]},
    ] (0,2) to (3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
