Agrigento Charcoal & White Tile

This four-lobed clover, framed by a fine contrasting outline, is Paola Navone's own drawing for the Carocim collection: you will not find it in generic tile catalogues. Carreau Agrigento Grès & Vanille interprets it in sandstone and vanilla for a mineral, balanced, timeless effect. Like every handmade cement tile, each piece also carries subtle variations that make your floor literally one of a kind.

Never, not even diluted: bleach is one of the sworn enemies of a cement tile, along with acids and harsh detergents. It attacks the surface and destroys the pore-filling protection. Clean Carreau Agrigento Grès & Vanille with warm water and neutral or black soap; that gentle routine, recommended by Carocim, is all the sandstone and vanilla tones need to stay beautiful.

Absolutely, and to striking effect: laid on a splashback, a bathroom wall or a niche, this Carocim cement tile displays its four-lobed clover at eye level. The rules stay the same as for floors: double-spread adhesive, fine joints and a pore-filling sealer. In sandstone and vanilla, Carreau Agrigento Grès & Vanille brings walls a mineral softness few materials can match.

Uneven fading is precisely what the anti-UV treatment guards against: Carocim applies it systematically to its exterior cement tiles, protecting the pigments across every piece, whether it sits in permanent light or half shade. The sandstone and vanilla of Carreau Agrigento Grès & Vanille therefore age evenly, keeping the four-lobed clover consistent from one end of the terrace to the other.

Truly, yes: every batch of pigment is prepared by hand, so each Carreau Agrigento Grès & Vanille carries its own micro-nuances of sandstone and vanilla. Mixed across the boxes at installation, these variations weave a subtle vibration no industrial tile can imitate. Two floors laid with the same Carocim cement tile will never be strictly identical, and that is their charm.
