Velvet Palm Tree Tile

Sunny terraces raise this question often, and the answer is reassuring: both shades of Carreau Palmier Velvet, deep blue and beige, are protected by the anti-UV treatment Carocim systematically applies to its outdoor-rated cement tiles. No colour in this palm design needs avoiding; the pigments keep their real depth even in very sunny areas, with routine sealing as backup.

Yes, referencing is straightforward: each shade in the Carocim U palette carries its own code, and you simply quote the U references you want for the palm segments and background when discussing your Carreau Palmier Velvet order with the workshop. Contact the team through Carocim.com; they will confirm the shades and feasibility for your cement tile project.

The catalogue price of Carreau Palmier Velvet, €220.50 per square metre, applies to the standard deep blue and beige version. A bespoke colourway means a dedicated artisanal production run, so conditions are quoted case by case: send your project details to Carocim and the workshop will price the custom cement tile edition for you.

Both worlds meet on this tile: designers Coco Brun & Aurélia Paoli started from tropical palm leaves, then distilled them into symmetrical segments radiating from the centre, a nearly geometric abstraction. That double reading, botanical and graphic at once, is what makes this deep blue and beige Carocim cement tile so elegant and so endlessly combinable.

Careful packing is part of the artisan's duty: the 12 tiles in each Carreau Palmier Velvet box are conditioned to protect faces and edges during transport, as fits a handcrafted Carocim product covering 0.48 m² per carton. On delivery, still inspect every cement tile before installation and report any transit issue straight away.
