Hexagon M Red Sainte Victoire

At Carocim, each carton of Hexagone M Rouge Sainte Victoire holds 19 pieces for 0.68 m², the standard packaging reference for this hexagonal cement tile. On arrival, check that no tile is chipped and that the box count matches the order before starting installation.

The exact weight of a single Hexagone M Rouge Sainte Victoire tile is not published by Carocim, though cement tile of this 16 mm thickness is generally denser than standard ceramic. Its 20 x 23 cm hexagon format works well in a small room, structuring the space without overwhelming it.

A cement tile goes through several manual steps before it is ready: pigment casting, pressing, then a drying period that stretches over several weeks. Hexagone M Rouge Sainte Victoire follows this same artisanal process at Carocim, far longer than the industrial firing used for standard ceramic tiles.

A single UV-resistant treatment from Carocim protects Hexagone M Rouge Sainte Victoire against dulling in sunlight. Fading is not a major concern on a rooftop terrace with this cement tile, since it is rated for outdoor use, though periodic water- and oil-repellent sealer maintenance still helps preserve its colour long term.

The price of a cement tile mainly comes down to its artisanal, hand-finished production, from pigment to final drying. Hexagone M Rouge Sainte Victoire is priced at €141.12/m² through Carocim, exactly the same rate as the other plain hexagons in the same range, so there is no price difference there.
