Toumèto White Shell Tile

One single production batch is indeed the best guarantee of consistency: when you order your full quantity at once, Carocim produces the cement tiles together, keeping the white, pink and black nuances close. Mention your wish when ordering, plan a spare margin from the same batch, and blend boxes during laying for a seamless result.

Right after grouting, a light haze can veil the shell-white surface: remove it promptly with clean water, a neutral soap and a soft white pad, working gently. Never reach for acid or cement-remover products, which burn the pigmented layer of a cement tile. Once clean and dry, complete the sealer — your Carocim finish will glow again.

No — Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment to its outdoor-rated cement tiles, precisely so that pigments stay protected and colours remain true. The shell white, pink and black of this Margaux Keller design are made to live outside. Keep the water-repellent protection maintained over the years and the sun will stay a friend.

Sharp curves are built into the making: the divider mould defines each section of the quarter-rosette cleanly before the pigments are poured. As with every handcrafted Carocim cement tile, minute edge variations exist from piece to piece — the human signature of the workshop — but the graphic impact of the design stays impeccably crisp.

One test tile will tell you exactly: sealers generally deepen shades a touch, warming the shell white and enriching the pink and black of this cement tile. Matt, invisible-finish products alter the least. Try your chosen sealer on a single Carocim tile, let it dry fully, then decide before treating the whole surface.
