Concave Tile

No, this is not a cool colour palette: the Vanilla and Coco tones of this Carocim cement tile sit clearly on the warm, bright side of the range. This combination creates a soft, welcoming atmosphere, particularly well suited to a kitchen or living room where Carreau Rayon Vanille Coco - B82 / U55 becomes a warm decorative feature.

The same systematic anti-UV treatment applies to every outdoor-rated Carocim model, regardless of colourway. This Carocim cement tile therefore does not fade any faster than other shades in the range, giving it an edge over untreated encaustic tiles from other makers and keeping the Vanilla and Coco tones of Carreau Rayon Vanille Coco - B82 / U55 stable over time.

Two simple habits are enough for this Carocim cement tile day to day: regular sweeping and an occasional wash with pH-neutral soap and water. Acidic or bleach-based products should always be avoided, as they would damage the sealer applied to Carreau Rayon Vanille Coco - B82 / U55 and dull its Vanilla and Coco tones further.

Before it enters service, this Carocim cement tile must receive its water- and oil-repellent sealer, applied after grouting on a clean, dry surface. A thin coat, sometimes reapplied for extra protection, is generally enough to close the natural porosity, though a spill like red wine should still be wiped up quickly to protect the Vanilla and Coco tones of Carreau Rayon Vanille Coco - B82 / U55.

No, at €220.50 per square metre, this Carocim cement tile sits in a mid-range price bracket linked to its handcrafted production. For 15 m², the tile cost would total around €3,307.50, excluding installation. Each box covers 0.48 m² for 12 pieces of Carreau Rayon Vanille Coco - B82 / U55.
