Siracusa Charcoal & White Tile

Sun protection ships with the tile: Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment to its exterior cement tiles, so the charcoal and white pigments of Carreau Siracusa Charbon de Bois & Blanc are already shielded from harsh radiation. Your part is simpler: a pore-filling sealer against stains, a water-repellent in exposed spots, and mild neutral-soap cleaning. The symmetrical scrolls handle the summer.

€220.50 per m² buys more than surface: each Carreau Siracusa Charbon de Bois & Blanc is individually pressed, its charcoal and white scrolls set in the material by hand, then air-cured without firing. A box of 12 covers 0.48 m², about €105.84. Compared with anonymous industrial tiles, this Carocim cement tile delivers designer heritage, depth and uniqueness that hold value for decades.

No soaking required, unlike terracotta: a cement tile is laid dry. Simply dust the back of each Carreau Siracusa Charbon de Bois & Blanc, use double-spread adhesive, keep joints fine and wipe off residues immediately. Water comes later, only for cleaning before the pore-filling sealer. Follow those classics and the Carocim scrollwork will sit flawlessly for life.

Drawn as a continuous decor, it thrives in both positions: on floors, the symmetrical scrolls of Carreau Siracusa Charbon de Bois & Blanc unroll like a woven carpet; on walls, behind a basin or a stove, they become framed ornament. The 20 x 20 cm format of this Carocim cement tile adapts to either project with the same classical elegance.

Charcoal is a shade that plays with lighting: under warm bulbs it leans velvety and brown-tinged, under cooler light it sharpens toward graphite, while the white stays steady. Rather than a flaw, this responsiveness gives the Carocim cement tile evening depth. View a sample of Carreau Siracusa Charbon de Bois & Blanc under your own lamps before deciding.
