Zig Vanilla & Grenache Tile

Warmth is exactly what it brings to an industrial setting: against raw concrete, steel and black metal, the vanilla and wine-red grenache of this cement tile add the human, crafted note the style often lacks. The wide Carocim diagonals hold their own amid strong architecture — the Zig Vanille & Grenache softens the loft without weakening it.

Two wide diagonal bands, endlessly recombinable: that is the fascination behind this pattern. Baptiste Vandaele conceived the Zig for Carocim as a modular graphic system — each cement tile is a fragment whose orientation at laying creates stripes, chevrons or zigzags. In the Zig Vanille & Grenache, that geometry gains a warm, refined and timeless voice.

For a 9 m² floor, the arithmetic is quick: at 25 tiles per square metre, you need 225 tiles, plus a cutting margin for borders and adjustments. With each Carocim box holding 12 cement tiles and covering 0.48 square metres, round up to whole boxes — and order everything in one batch so the vanilla and grenache shades stay consistent.

Yes, packaging follows a clear standard: the Zig Vanille & Grenache travels in boxes of 12 cement tiles, each covering 0.48 square metres. Every 20 × 20 cm tile, 16 mm thick, is protected for transit. On the 25-tiles-per-square-metre basis, working out your number of Carocim boxes takes moments.

Little effort is required on your side: Carocim already applies a systematic anti-UV treatment to its outdoor cement tiles, protecting the vanilla and grenache pigments from fading. Your part is simply to renew the pore filler and water-repellent sealer over time and to clean with neutral soap. The Zig Vanille & Grenache will keep its warmth for years.
