Toumèto Green Pine Forest Tile

This Carocim cement tile suits a graphic, contemporary interior rather than a busy country-style one. The deep black of Petite Étoile Ebony Noir catches the light and works equally well in a pared-back Scandinavian decor or in a darker, bolder interior, where it becomes a real focal point.

No fixed number of coats is imposed: the water- and grease-repellent sealer is generally applied in one to two passes on this Carocim cement tile, depending on the porosity observed after drying. On Petite Étoile Ebony Noir, it is best to test a discreet area before treating the whole laid surface.

On a compact format like this Carocim cement tile, the Petite Étoile pattern relies more on repetition than on a single standalone motif. Multiplied across a surface, Petite Étoile Ebony Noir creates an almost textile-like scattered effect, rather than the Mediterranean mood usually carried by warm, sun-drenched colours.

On Petite Étoile Ebony Noir, the price of €220.50 per square metre is not an entry-level budget figure, but reflects a hand-pressed, hand-dried artisanal process on this Carocim cement tile. This price pays for a genuinely one-off piece rather than a tile produced on an industrial line.

Against UV, this Carocim cement tile performs very well thanks to an anti-UV treatment applied as standard before shipping to pieces intended for outdoor use. On Petite Étoile Ebony Noir, this deep black keeps its intensity over the seasons, whereas an unprotected pigment would eventually turn grey in the sun.
