Kros Vanilla & Grenache Tile

Floors are its natural territory: at 16 mm thick for a 20 × 20 cm format, Carreau Kros Vanille & Grenache has the dense, pressed body that made the cement tile a flooring classic. Laid with double-buttering and fine joints, then sealed, this Carocim tile handles everyday foot traffic with ease.

Yes — distance works magic. Tile by tile, the handmade nuances of vanilla and grenache are noticeable; across a laid floor, they merge into a gently vibrating surface that flat industrial tiles cannot imitate. Carocim recommends mixing cement tiles from several boxes of Carreau Kros Vanille & Grenache while laying to balance the effect.

Softening is exactly what this Carocim cement tile does best: the warm vanilla ground tempers concrete and glass, while the grenache cross adds handcrafted rhythm to clean architectural lines. Use Carreau Kros Vanille & Grenache across the floor or as a defined zone, and the extension gains warmth without losing its modernity.

One single tile already carries the full motif: the interlaced diagonals of Carreau Kros Vanille & Grenache form a complete cross within each 20 × 20 cm square. Scattered as accents among plain tiles or used in a small framed panel, this Carocim cement tile delivers graphic punch even in tiny doses.

Poolside light is intense — direct sun plus reflection — yet this is the environment Carocim prepares its outdoor cement tiles for: a systematic anti-UV treatment protects the vanilla and grenache pigments of Carreau Kros Vanille & Grenache against discolouration. Add a water-repellent sealer and maintain with pH-neutral soap, never chlorine-heavy cleaners.
