Usage Note
Carrelage is the collective noun for a tiled surface (floor or wall), not an individual tile — a single tile is un carreau. It is always masculine and typically uncountable in this sense. The verb carreler means 'to tile' and un carreleur is a tiler.
Examples
"Le carrelage de la cuisine est froid le matin."
Natural Translation
The kitchen tiling is cold in the morning.
