Kangura Frieze

Yes, it is possible to revive the sheen of Frise Kangura after several years, generally with a light coat of natural wax applied once the cement tile has been thoroughly cleaned. Right after installation, caring for this Carocim tile is limited to a gentle wash with pH-neutral soap, while waiting for the sealer to be applied.

A fine grout line, rather than a wide one, generally shows off the outline of Frise Kangura better while respecting the dimensional tolerances typical of cement tiles. After laying, it is generally best to wait at least 24 to 48 hours before walking lightly on this Carocim tile, to allow the adhesive to set.

A soft contrast, rather than a clash of styles, generally forms between Frise Kangura and a rustic country interior, where exposed beams and weathered furniture welcome an artisanal border pattern well. This Carocim cement tile does not clash with a country decor, provided the rest of the room's decorative elements stay understated.

The colours of a cement tile come from mineral pigments blended directly into the coloured cement, with no paint or varnish applied on the surface, a method used for Frise Kangura. A more monochrome version of this Carocim pattern generally exists, playing on close shades rather than a strong colour contrast.

Yes, without a sealer, Frise Kangura stays very porous and stains easily on contact with a coloured or greasy liquid. A simple test shows when to renew the water-repellent treatment on this Carocim cement tile: a few drops of water on the surface should bead up rather than soak in straight away.
