Yellow cement tiles

Sunlight captured in the material. That's the promise of our selection of yellow cement tiles , where solid shades take center stage. Choosing a Carocim solid yellow cement tile isn't just about choosing a color; it's about inviting into your home over 40 years of French craftsmanship, a history of natural pigments, and a rare authenticity.

Far from industrial uniformity, our tiles vibrate with a unique warmth. Yellow, whether straw, ochre, mustard, or lemon, transforms a space. It creates atmospheres that are by turns soft, dynamic, or profoundly warm. For a bright entryway or a sunny kitchen backsplash, yellow cement tiles are a timeless decorative signature.

At Carocim, each piece tells a story. The story of our artisans, based on the precision of their craftsmanship, and the story of your projects, which we passionately support from our home in Aix-en-Provence.

The sunny glow of the plain yellow cement tile: a Carocim signature

A plain yellow cement tile is more than just a covering. It's an aesthetic statement, a choice for clarity and optimism. In its solid version, yellow reveals its full power: it becomes a minimalist and elegant backdrop, capable of enhancing raw wood furniture, contrasting with dark hues, or harmonizing with a range of natural colors.

The intensity of our yellow cement tiles comes directly from their composition. We use only natural pigments, mixed with marble powder and water. This mixture, which forms the color layer (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 exacting standards of quality to its monochrome designs. The plain yellow cement tile thus benefits from the same rich pigmentation as our most complex patterns.

Artisanal expertise at the service of color

The unique vibrancy of a Carocim plain yellow cement tile lies in its manufacture. Entirely manual, 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 keen visual memory and precision acquired over the years, blend the hues. For a plain tile, the metal mold is prepared. Although the divider (the metal grid for the patterns) is not used, the first layer of colored mortar is carefully poured.

This step is crucial: it determines the visible surface of the tile. It is immediately followed by a layer of dry cement to absorb moisture, then a layer of grey cement mortar which provides the tile's rigidity and structure. The whole assembly is then placed under a hydraulic press.

This handmade process ensures that each plain yellow cement tile is subtly different. Slight variations in shade, a micro-vibration on the surface... This guarantees an authentic covering, the antithesis of mass production. It's this "touch of hand" that architects and lovers of fine materials seek in our yellow cement tiles .

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

The secret to a successful yellow cement tile lies in the quality of its pigments. At Carocim, we favor oxides and natural earths.

Unlike glazed ceramic tiles, plain yellow cement tiles are colored throughout. The color is an integral part of the material. This gives them not only unparalleled depth but also exceptional durability. Over time, the tile will only develop a patina, adding to its charm without ever altering its fundamental color.

This mineral approach to color allows for vibrant yellows that don't "shout." Whether it's a saffron yellow for a Mediterranean ambiance or a more muted mustard yellow for a Scandinavian or vintage interior, the finish is always matte and powdery.

Two thicknesses for all your projects: floor and wall

Because each decorating project has its own constraints, we offer our plain yellow cement tile in two thicknesses:

1. The 16 mm format (for floors): This is the traditional thickness, designed for exceptional durability. Perfect for living room floors, hallways, kitchens, or entryways. A 16 mm yellow cement tile floor is a lasting investment that will last for decades.

2. The 12 mm format (for walls): Lighter in weight, this version is ideal for wall applications. It allows you to create a bright kitchen backsplash, an accent wall in a bathroom (excluding walk-in showers), or a graphic wainscoting. The plain yellow cement wall tile adds character without overwhelming the space.

How to incorporate yellow cement tiles into your decor?

Plain yellow cement tiles are a fantastic decorating tool. Their apparent simplicity hides great versatility, allowing you to liven up a space or highlight an architectural feature.

A touch of light in the kitchen and bathroom

In the kitchen, yellow cement tiles work wonders as a backsplash. They add an instant touch of vibrancy, warming up the atmosphere. Paired with white furniture, they create a modern Scandinavian look; with dark wood or black, they offer a sophisticated and bold contrast.

In the bathroom, a plain yellow cement tile floor creates a warm, rug-like effect first thing in the morning. It pairs perfectly with gold brass fixtures for a retro-chic style, or with gray polished concrete for a more industrial and contemporary feel. Its natural matte finish is also pleasant to the touch.

Revitalizing a floor: from the entrance to the living room

Using plain yellow cement tiles for an entryway floor is a warm and original way to welcome guests. It elegantly defines the space.

In a living space, it can be used to create a specific zone, such as a reading nook or a dining area in an open-plan kitchen. The architects we work with particularly appreciate yellow cement tiles for their ability to define spaces. They pair perfectly with other high-quality materials, such as oak parquet flooring or natural stone, allowing for subtle and visually striking floor transitions.

Installation and maintenance tips for your plain yellow cement tile

Cement tiles are a living material, porous by nature. To ensure they retain their beauty for years to come, it is essential to treat them.

After installation (using a flexible adhesive) and once the grout has completely dried, your yellow cement tiles need to be protected. We recommend applying a pore sealer, followed by a water and oil repellent treatment. This will make them impervious to everyday stains (water, oil, wine).

For routine maintenance, nothing could be simpler: mild soap (such as Marseille soap or black soap) and clean water are all you need. Acidic detergents or bleach should be avoided, as they will damage the limestone surface of the cement.

A plain yellow cement tile, properly laid and treated, will develop a beautiful natural patina over time. We invite you to consult our detailed guides for perfect installation.

The authenticity of handmade for your project

Choosing a plain yellow cement tile from Maison Carocim means choosing a covering with soul. It means preferring the subtle vibrancy of a handmade piece to the coldness of an industrial product.

Choosing yellow cement tiles means opting for a durable, mineral material and a deep color achieved with natural pigments. Whether your project is modern, classic, or eclectic, these tiles will add that extra touch of character and light that makes all the difference.
