Grey Provençal Tile

For outdoor projects, this question matters — and the answer is reassuring. Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment to its exterior cement tiles, Carreau Provençal Gris included: protection is built in at the workshop, not left to the installer. The white, grey and black pigments are shielded so the colours you choose remain the colours you see.

Yes, this is an original Carocim design: the symmetrical shapes and decorative scrolls of Carreau Provençal Gris were drawn by the house for its Classiques collection. Rooted in the tradition of Provençal cement tile floors yet redrawn with Carocim's own hand, the pattern offers an elegant, timeless composition in white, grey and black.

Symmetry does the work for you: the scrolls of Carreau Provençal Gris connect seamlessly when every tile faces the same way, forming a continuous ornamental carpet. Dry-lay a few rows first to centre the design, then fix each cement tile with double buttering and fine joints — the classic method Carocim recommends for a flawless result.

3 colours, all neutral by nature: white, grey and black make Carreau Provençal Gris one of the most versatile designs in the Carocim Classiques collection. This restrained palette lets the ornamental scrolls express themselves without dominating a room — a cement tile that pairs effortlessly with wood, stone, and contemporary or period interiors alike.

Because each piece is pressed individually rather than machine-extruded, a handmade cement tile shows tiny dimensional tolerances. Carreau Provençal Gris is produced at 20 × 20 cm and 16 mm thick; the minute variations of a hand-made product are absorbed by the fine joints Carocim recommends. The finished floor reads as perfectly regular.
