Kros Vanilla & Mistral Blue Check

The coloured layer is poured by hand: pigmented cement — here vanilla and mistral blue — flows into a divider mould that traces the cross motif, before the whole tile is pressed and left to cure without firing. That is how Carocim gives each Carreau Kros Vanille & Bleu Mistral cement tile its colour in the mass.

20 × 20 cm is the single listed format for Carreau Kros Vanille & Bleu Mistral, and its interlaced diagonals compose their own natural framing when laid. For matching borders, corners or plain companion tiles in vanilla or mistral blue, ask Carocim directly: the house guides such cement tile pairings project by project.

Printed colour is always an approximation of handmade reality: the U chart gives Carocim's reference shades, but every cement tile is pressed individually, so the vanilla and mistral blue of Carreau Kros Vanille & Bleu Mistral carry subtle live nuances. For final decisions, order a physical sample tile rather than trusting print or screen.

No — that is precisely what the anti-UV treatment prevents. Carocim applies it systematically to its outdoor cement tiles, so the mistral blue and vanilla pigments of Carreau Kros Vanille & Bleu Mistral are protected against dulling and discolouration. Even after long sunny seasons, the fresh contrast of the cross motif remains.

Handmade colour never photographs perfectly: screens tend to cool or flatten the mistral blue, while in real life the pigment shows more depth against the vanilla ground. Since each Carocim cement tile is pressed individually with natural nuances, judge Carreau Kros Vanille & Bleu Mistral on a physical sample before committing.
