Hexagon M Red Oxide

One single colourway makes up Hexagone M Rouge Oxyde, this plain Carocim cement tile, and it does not belong to a neutral palette — it sits firmly in the warm oxide-red family. Website photos give a broadly accurate idea of the tone, though a physical sample is the safest way to confirm it.

A cement tile floor always represents a bigger investment than standard ceramic, reflecting its artisanal production. Hexagone M Rouge Oxyde costs €141.12/m² through Carocim, yes, more expensive than mass-produced ceramic, a figure worth including from the earliest budgeting stage of a renovation project.

No, the shade variations across a batch of Hexagone M Rouge Oxyde are not a fault: they come from pigment applied by hand, part of every Carocim cement tile. These differences remain subtle within a single production run and contribute to the tile's authentic, artisanal character.

Hexagone M Rouge Oxyde carries a UV-resistant treatment from Carocim, reserved for cement tiles rated for outdoor use, which strongly limits colour change in sunlight. On a balcony in full afternoon sun, this tile keeps its intensity well, provided a regular water- and oil-repellent sealer maintenance routine is kept up.

16 mm is the thickness of Hexagone M Rouge Oxyde at Carocim, well suited to floor installation for this 20 x 23 cm hexagonal cement tile. As with any handmade tile, edges may show very slight unevenness rather than being machine-perfect, which is normal for this type of production.
