Yellow Provençal Frieze

No guesswork needed here: Frise Provençale Jaune never leaves the workshop untreated, because Carocim systematically gives its outdoor cement tiles an anti-UV treatment that shields the pigments. The white, green, yellow and red of the frieze therefore keep their true colours in the sun. Your only job is sealing against water and stains, then cleaning gently with neutral soap.

Four colours, white, green, yellow and red, give this 20 x 20 cm frieze exactly the sunny, old-Provence character a vintage kitchen calls for. Run Frise Provençale Jaune along a splashback, frame a cooking niche or border a chequered floor: this Carocim cement tile from the Classiques collection brings instant retro warmth without feeling like a pastiche.

Behind every handcrafted frieze lies a brass divider mould, and the one for Frise Provençale Jaune must separate four pigments, white, green, yellow and red, across a symmetrical ornamental design. Each compartment is filled by hand in the Carocim workshop before pressing, which is why this cement tile shows such depth of colour and cleanly organised detail.

Yes, a quick inspection matters: open each box of 12 tiles on delivery, confirm the count and the 0.48 m² coverage per carton, and look over the Carocim cement tiles for any transport damage before signing. Also check that all boxes show consistent colouring of the white, green, yellow and red frieze, then store them flat and dry until installation.

Frise Provençale Jaune is produced in a single 16 mm thickness, the traditional build of a handcrafted cement tile, in its 20 x 20 cm square format. That thickness poses no problem on walls when bonded correctly with double buttering. If you want a narrower band, Carocim's border repertoire also includes slimmer rectangular friezes in other designs.
