Carreau la Pomme

Artisanal production calls for a nuanced answer: since each pigment batch is prepared to order in the Carocim workshop, two lots of this cement tile may show very slight differences in green, red or beige. For a single project, order the full quantity at once and mix boxes during installation — that variation is what makes each floor unique.

A fine family of motifs surrounds the Pomme: Carocim's SU.Real collection declines fruits, celestial bodies and surrealist symbols on cement tile, from the lemon to the watermelon by way of the moon and the dove. The stylised green, red and beige apple core converses with its playful neighbours. Together they allow delicious narrative patchworks.

Unlike patterns designed to connect, the Pomme works as a self-contained vignette: each cement tile shows its stylised apple core face-on, green and red on a beige ground — more pop imagery than Provençal tradition. Assembled, the tiles build a rhythmic graphic repeat, wallpaper-style, rather than a continuous drawing. Carocim recommends it as a field or scattered accents.

Yes, they hold: made for outdoor use, this cement tile receives the anti-UV treatment systematically applied by Carocim, which protects the green, red and beige against discolouration. The offbeat apple core from the SU.Real collection can thus settle on a terrace or balcony without fearing the sun, with standard care.

Compatible, provided the rules are followed: over low-temperature underfloor heating, this Carocim cement tile is glued with double buttering — yes, back-buttering is part of it — using a suitable flexible adhesive and a very gradual heat-up after full drying. The tile's 16 mm then spread warmth gently beneath the green and red motif.
