Old Red Hexagon M

A water- and oil-repellent sealer sealer is applied with a roller or brush to Hexagone M Rouge Ancien once the cement tile is fully clean and dry after installation. A matt finish is the standard option for this treatment, and two thin coats are usually recommended to protect this Carocim tile from stains and moisture.

At Carocim, Hexagone M Rouge Ancien costs €141.12 per m², well above an entry-level ceramic tile. This gap reflects the handmade production of this cement tile, colour by colour, a far slower process than standardised industrial manufacturing.

Plain cement tile forms the historic core of the Carocim catalogue, alongside more elaborate patterns. Hexagone M Rouge Ancien belongs to this ongoing range, and while a Provençal heritage runs through much of Carocim's craft, no specific regional origin is documented for this particular colourway.

Yes, the 16 mm total thickness of Hexagone M Rouge Ancien already includes the pigmented wear layer that gives this cement tile its colour, with no extra dimension to add. The 20 x 23 cm hexagon format itself is a completely standard size within Carocim's range.

Hexagone M Rouge Ancien is rated for outdoor use, and Carocim applies a UV-resistant treatment as standard to this cement tile. The best extra protection against harsh summer sun is regular maintenance with a water- and oil-repellent sealer sealer, which reinforces the stability of the red pigments over time.
