Pink, Nude & Beige Cement Tiles

The softness of sand and the elegance of limestone captured in a single material. This is the promise of our collection of beige cement tiles, where the subtle beauty of plain cement tiles takes center stage. Choosing a plain beige cement tile from Maison Carocim is not simply opting for a color; it's inviting into your home over 40 years of French craftsmanship, a history of mineral pigments, and a rare authenticity. Far from industrial uniformity, our tiles resonate with a gentle warmth. Beige, whether sand, cream, ivory, or powdery, soothes and unifies the space. It creates atmospheres that are by turns natural, minimalist, or profoundly elegant. For a living room floor that visually expands the space or a bright kitchen backsplash, beige cement tiles are a timeless decorative signature. At Carocim, every piece tells a story. That of our craftsmen, based on the precision of the gesture, and that of your projects, which we support with passion from our home in Aix-en-Provence.

The timeless elegance of plain beige cement tiles: a Carocim signature

A plain beige cement tile is an aesthetic statement, a choice for calm and light. In its monochrome version, beige reveals its full power: it becomes a textured and minimalist backdrop, capable of enhancing raw materials like wood, linen, or stone, and harmonizing with a range of natural hues. The intensity of our beige cement tiles comes directly from their composition. We use only natural pigments, mixed with marble powder and cement. This mixture, which forms the color layer (a wear layer of approximately 5 mm), gives the tile its characteristic matte and velvety finish. This chromatic depth is the result of our expertise. Maison Carocim, renowned for its collaborations with leading designers and its involvement in exceptional projects (hotels, museums, luxury homes), applies the same high standards of quality to its plain models. Our plain beige cement tiles benefit from the same rich pigmentation as our most complex designs. Our beige cement tiles represent the luxury of simplicity.

Artisanal expertise at the service of the material

The unique character of a Carocim beige cement tile lies in its handcrafted nature. The production steps have remained unchanged, perpetuating an art that emerged in the mid-19th century. In our Moroccan workshops, everything begins with the preparation of the colors. Our artisans, with their time-honored precision, create the perfect hues. For a plain cement tile, the metal mold is prepared. The first layer of colored mortar is delicately poured. This step is crucial: it defines the visible surface of the tile. It is immediately followed by a layer of dry cement to fix the colors, then a layer of gray cement mortar that ensures the tile's rigidity. The entire assembly is then placed under a hydraulic press. This handcrafted process guarantees that each beige cement tile is subtly different. Slight variations in shade, a micro-vibration on the surface... This is the hallmark of an authentic covering. It is this "touch of the hand" that architects and lovers of fine materials seek in our beige cement tiles: a product with soul.

The depth of the pigments: the secret to a luminous beige

The secret to a successful beige cement tile lies in the quality of its pigments. At Carocim, we favor oxides and natural earths. Unlike glazed ceramic tiles, plain beige cement tiles are colored throughout. The color is an integral part of the material, extending to a thickness of 5 mm. This gives it not only incomparable depth but also exceptional durability. Over time, the tile will only develop a patina, adding even more character without ever altering its hue. This mineral approach to color allows us to achieve luminous beiges that are never dull. Whether it's a sandy beige for a Mediterranean feel, a creamy beige for Scandinavian softness, or a more contemporary powdery beige, the finish of our beige cement tiles is always matte and velvety.

Two thicknesses for all your projects: floor and wall

Because every decorating project has its own constraints, we offer our plain beige cement tile in two thicknesses: The 16 mm format (for floors): This is the traditional thickness, designed for exceptional durability. Perfect for living room floors, hallways, kitchens, or bathrooms. A 16 mm beige cement tile floor is a lasting investment. The 10 mm format (for walls): Lighter, this version is ideal for wall applications. It allows you to create a bright kitchen backsplash, an accent wall in a bathroom, or an elegant wainscoting.

How to incorporate beige cement tiles into your decor?

Plain beige cement tiles are the perfect choice for bright and calming interiors. Their neutral appearance belies their versatility, allowing you to unify spaces and enhance your architecture.

Serenity in the kitchen and bathroom

In the kitchen, beige cement tiles are perfect as a backsplash. They add a touch of softness and light, pairing beautifully with wood or stone countertops. In the bathroom, a floor or wall covered in beige cement tiles (10mm or 16mm format) creates a cozy, spa-like atmosphere. It's the perfect base for a zen and natural decor.

Unifying the floors: from the entrance to the living room

Using plain beige cement tiles for your flooring is a choice of elegance and continuity. They visually enlarge spaces and create a serene base for your furniture. They are also the perfect complement to our other tiles. Consider a beige and off-white checkerboard pattern for subtle softness. The architects we work with particularly appreciate plain beige cement tiles for creating calming borders around a patterned "rug," thus structuring the volumes of an entryway or living room.

Installation and maintenance tips for your beige cement tile

Cement tiles are a living material, porous by nature. To preserve their beauty for years to come, proper treatment is essential. After installation (using a flexible adhesive) and once the grout has completely dried, your beige cement tiles must be protected. We recommend applying a pore sealer, followed by a water- and oil-repellent treatment. This step is crucial, especially for bathrooms or kitchen backsplashes. For routine maintenance, mild soap (such as Marseille soap or black soap) and clean water are sufficient. Acidic detergents and bleach should be avoided. A well-installed and properly treated plain beige cement tile will develop a beautiful natural patina over time.

The authenticity of handmade for your project

Choosing a plain beige cement tile from Maison Carocim means choosing a floor covering with character. It means preferring the subtle vibrancy of a handcrafted piece to the coldness of an industrial product. It means opting for a durable, mineral material and a soft color achieved with natural pigments. Whether your project is modern, classic, or eclectic, beige cement tiles will bring that extra touch of character and understated elegance that makes all the difference.
