Starlet Grey & Red

Far from being discontinued, the Classiques collection remains at the heart of the Carocim catalogue: Starlet Gris & Rouge is pressed to order like every house cement tile. Production is ongoing, so you can plan a project today and extend it later. Availability follows the workshop's made-to-order rhythm rather than industrial stock cycles.

Yes, that is the right way to put it: thanks to the anti-UV treatment Carocim systematically applies to its outdoor cement tiles, the pigments of Starlet Gris & Rouge are protected from fading. What the years add is a gentle mineral mellowing — a patina that softens the surface while the grey and terracotta red stay true.

No exact birthdate is published for this drawing: Carocim presents Starlet Gris & Rouge within its Classiques collection, whose patterns perpetuate the historic repertoire of the cement tile. The central rosette belongs to a lineage going back to the craft's nineteenth-century golden age, reinterpreted by the house in white, grey and terracotta red.

15 × 15 cm of hand-pressed pattern will never clash with rustic charm — quite the opposite. The terracotta red and soft grey of Starlet Gris & Rouge echo old farmhouse floors, and the handcrafted surface of a Carocim cement tile sits naturally beside aged wood, stone and linen. It completes a country interior rather than fighting it.

When drawing up your layout, count on these figures: Starlet Gris & Rouge measures 15 × 15 cm with a 16 mm thickness — 45 tiles per square metre, boxed by 18 for 0.4 m² of coverage. A refined small format in the Carocim cement tile range, priced at €272.16 per m².
