tiling, tile floor

noun kah-ruh-LAHZH Rare

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.
