Old Red Brickette

Yes, Brickette Rouge Ancien can stay in full sun: Carocim applies a systematic anti-UV treatment to every cement tile made for outdoor use. This protection slows pigment fading and keeps the Rouge Ancien shade close to its original tone season after season. It is a standard applied across the whole range of outdoor Carocim cement tiles.

The slight shade variation visible on Brickette Rouge Ancien comes from the handmade production of the cement tile, piece by piece. Since each tile is cast and pressed by hand, small nuances remain from one piece to the next at Carocim, a mark of artisanal rather than industrial production.

Brickette Rouge Ancien measures 4 x 20 cm for a thickness of 16 mm, a rectangular format typical of Carocim cement tiles. This rectangular format, noticeably thicker than standard ceramic tiling, works well in rows, herringbone or mixed layouts, and remains the only size Carocim offers for this design.

Brickette Rouge Ancien, like any handmade cement tile, costs more than mass-produced tiling: €559.50 per m² at Carocim. That Carocim rate covers the handmade production of the tile and stays the same whichever colourway you pick, with no surcharge tied to the shade, across the range. For 5 m², budget around €2797.50, roughly 11 boxes of Brickette Rouge Ancien.

Yes, each box of Brickette Rouge Ancien covers exactly 0.48 m², holding 60 cement tiles in the 4 x 20 cm format. That packaging, the same across the whole Carocim cement tile range, is what you use to calculate the quantity to order.
