Blue Butterfly Tile

At 20 x 20 cm with a bold Pop design, this Carocim cement tile is built for a contemporary look rather than a period restoration. In a farmhouse full of character, it works best as a graphic accent — a single eye-catching note set against exposed stone and old mouldings.

At Carocim, each reference ships as a full box rather than loose pieces: the Papillon Bleu box holds 12 cement tiles covering 0.48 m². It doesn't include dedicated spare tiles, so it's worth ordering a small extra margin to cover cuts and any breakage in transit.

Yes, under normal outdoor use: Carocim applies a systematic anti-UV treatment to its cement tiles made for exterior settings, which durably protects the blue, black and white pigments of the Papillon Bleu against sun-related fading. Regular care with a suitable product keeps this colour retention strong over time.

The Papillon Bleu motif shows a butterfly with wings spread, richly detailed in blue, black and white on this square 20 x 20 cm Carocim cement tile. It's a brand-new design by Marta Pignol, not a reissue of a historic pattern, and its vibrant graphic rendering suits a contemporary interior that embraces a bold, pop-inspired decor on floors or splashbacks.

At 16 mm thick, the Papillon Bleu is entirely handmade: each cement tile is poured and hand-pressed using the traditional cement tile technique, one motif at a time, then left to cure slowly for lasting strength. Carocim doesn't publish an exact headcount, but this manual craftsmanship explains the tile's natural, subtle variation piece to piece.
