Déscription du carreau Carreau the Moth

The Moth is part of the SU.Real collection, designed by Marta Pignol for Carocim®, from the "Animals" picture book.

In the surrealist universe, the moth evokes an attraction to darkness, mystery, and silent transformation. A nocturnal creature, it embodies the link between the unconscious, shadow, and the fragile beauty of that which eludes the light.

Each tile is handcrafted using a demanding artisanal method. Composed of cement, sand, marble powder, and natural pigments, it is made without firing, using minimal water. Its texture and any slight irregularities reveal the artisan's touch and enhance its uniqueness.

Produits associés au carreau Carreau the Moth

What is the inspiration behind the pattern of Carreau le Papillon de Nuit?

Yes, this motif is an original creation by Marta Pignol for Carocim's SU.Real collection: a butterfly with radiating, contrasting wings, rendered in yellow, blue and black on this square 20 x 20 cm cement tile. The intended effect is enigmatic and luminous, somewhere between a night-time mood and a burst of sunlight, rather than a revival of an antique pattern.

What price is Carreau le Papillon de Nuit offered at?

The Papillon de Nuit is priced at €245.70/m² through Carocim, for this square 20 x 20 cm cement tile sold in boxes of 12 pieces covering 0.48 m² each. For a small 5 m² bathroom, budget around €1,230 before allowing for cutting margin, laying and sealing.

Should a tile layout plan be drawn up before laying Carreau le Papillon de Nuit?

12 tiles per box and one individual motif per piece: these figures make a layout plan worthwhile before installing the Papillon de Nuit, to spread the yellow, blue and black butterflies evenly across the surface. As with any Carocim cement tile, a double-buttered adhesive fix with fine grout joints is recommended, and lightly dampening the tiles beforehand helps the adhesive bond evenly.

Which products should be avoided when cleaning Carreau le Papillon de Nuit?

As with any Carocim cement tile, the Papillon de Nuit needs gentle care to protect its yellow, blue and black pigments. Avoid acid, bleach and any harsh detergent: stick to a pH-neutral soap and a clear water rinse so the surface isn't damaged and the motif doesn't dull over time.

Should a specific product be applied to Carreau le Papillon de Nuit before laying it in a sunny outdoor area?

Yes — no extra product is needed before installation: Carocim already applies a systematic anti-UV treatment to this cement tile, designed for outdoor use, which durably protects the yellow, blue and black of the motif from sun exposure. A water- and oil-repellent sealer after laying is still recommended for general upkeep in a busy outdoor kitchen.
