Arche Velvet Tile

Customisation is the whole point of the U chart: the arch motif of Carreau Arche Velvet can be recoloured with shades picked from the Carocim range, replacing the terracotta and beige with your own harmony. The drawing by studio Heju stays identical; only the palette changes. Submit your combination to Carocim to confirm feasibility before this cement tile goes into production.

Yes, vibrancy is protected at the factory stage: Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment on its outdoor-rated tiles, so the terracotta and beige pigments of Carreau Arche Velvet keep their true warmth on a sunny patio. Maintain the pore sealer and wash this cement tile with neutral soap; sun will bring light, not loss of colour.

Mixing colourways is one of the joys of the Heju collection: the arch motif of Carreau Arche Velvet exists in several palettes — terracotta, blue, pink, khaki — all sharing the same 20 x 20 cm format. Alternating two of these Carocim cement tiles creates rhythm without breaking the pattern's flow. Keep one dominant and one accent for the most balanced result.

One original drawing stands behind this tile: the stylised arch created by studio Heju for Carocim's collection. Carreau Arche Velvet is thus a signed contemporary design, not a copied historic pattern. For the legal specifics of design protection, contact Carocim directly; what is certain is that this terracotta and beige cement tile carries a genuine creative authorship.

Diagonal layouts are beautiful but hungry: every row ends in angled cuts, so offcuts multiply compared with a straight grid. A 10% allowance is the usual floor for standard layouts; for diagonals, plan more generously. Order all your Carreau Arche Velvet at once — handmade Carocim batches vary subtly — and keep spare cement tiles for future repairs.
