Grey Church Frieze

This border design belongs to Carocim: Frise Church Gris is a house pattern from the Classiques collection, drawn with the scrolls and symmetrical shapes of traditional frieze work. Similar spirits exist in the history of the cement tile, but this exact composition in white, grey and red is Carocim's own — pressed by hand, tile after tile.

1 firm stroke does the essential: once the pigmented layer of Frise Church Gris is poured through its divider mould and the cement body added, the hydraulic press compacts everything in a single powerful action. The layers bond, the scrollwork sets. No kiln is needed — pressure alone gives the Carocim cement tile its density.

Picture a farmhouse hallway in the south of France: a bordered carpet of patterned tiles running towards the kitchen. Frise Church Gris was made for that scene — its white, grey and red scrollwork frames cement tile floors exactly as Provençal tradition intends. Carocim's handcrafted finish completes the authentic, balanced look such houses deserve.

Yes, mineral pigments hold the advantage: naturally stable, they resist light better than many synthetic dyes — and Carocim reinforces them with the anti-UV treatment applied systematically to its outdoor cement tiles. On Frise Church Gris, the white, grey and red therefore stay true rather than shifting, keeping the scrollwork crisp through years of sunshine.

Weight dictates the method: boxes of 12 Frise Church Gris tiles (0.48 m² each) are stacked on pallets, strapped and protected so the cement tiles travel without shocks. Carocim prepares large orders this way as standard. On delivery, check the pallet before signing, keep boxes flat and dry, and store spares in their original packaging.
