L-shaped tile, Pine Green, Parasol

None, technically: this cement tile belongs to Carocim's plain range, which is built entirely around solid colours rather than printed or moulded patterns. Vert Pin Parasol is one of many single-tone options in that collection, designed to pair with patterned Carocim cement tiles rather than feature a motif itself.

Yes, this cement tile works well in a heavy-traffic entrance hall, thanks to its dense, 16 mm construction built to withstand daily wear. Carocim's Vert Pin Parasol just needs a properly maintained water- and oil-repellent sealer seal to keep handling dirt and moisture tracked in from outside.

It can work, though this cement tile leans more contemporary given its solid, unpatterned colour, which sits closer to a modern minimalist look than a vintage motif. Pairing Vert Pin Parasol with vintage cabinetry and brass fixtures can still bridge that gap in a well-styled kitchen. Carocim produces it using traditional craftsmanship.

The main protection already comes from Carocim's anti-UV treatment applied to this cement tile before installation, which slows sun fading significantly outdoors. Beyond that, maintaining the water- and oil-repellent sealer sealant regularly and avoiding harsh cleaning products helps Vert Pin Parasol keep its colour stable for longer.

A pH-neutral soap diluted in warm water is the best choice for washing this cement tile, gentle enough to protect both the pigments and the sealant. Carocim advises against anything acidic or bleach-based on Vert Pin Parasol, since harsher products gradually wear down the tile's protective finish.
