Circle Tanne

In a market full of reproduced motifs, this one has a pedigree: the rounded shapes of Carreau Cercle Tanne were designed by studio Heju specifically for Carocim's collection. You will find the same drawing only in the collection's other colourways, not in generic catalogues. As a handmade cement tile, each piece adds its own subtle variation, deepening that uniqueness.

Yes, all four seasons are within its brief: Carreau Cercle Tanne is rated for outdoor use, and Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment that keeps the beige and terracotta pigments protected and true. Year-round exposure calls for your side of the bargain too — a maintained pore sealer and neutral-soap cleaning keep this cement tile weatherproof and handsome.

Laying over existing tiles works when the base is sound, flat, stable and thoroughly degreased: apply a bonding primer, then fix Carreau Cercle Tanne with the double-buttering method and fine joints. Check that the added height — a 16 mm cement tile plus adhesive — still clears doors and thresholds. Carocim recommends an installer experienced with cement tiles.

20 x 20 cm of quiet warmth underfoot: the beige and terracotta rounds of Carreau Cercle Tanne give a bedroom a serene, enveloping base, far from cold flooring clichés. Traffic is light in a bedroom, an easy life for this 16 mm Carocim cement tile. Seal it as usual, add a wool rug, and the room glows.

Around a kitchen, oil is the classic enemy of porous surfaces, and this is exactly what the pore sealer addresses: applied to Carreau Cercle Tanne after installation, it saturates the surface so splashes stay on top long enough to be wiped away. Act promptly, clean with neutral soap, and renew the sealer periodically — standard care for any Carocim cement tile.
