Offer Details

Ceramic Tile
●Ceramic Tile is made from clay or other minerals.
●The extruded material is shaped and heat-treated (fired) in a kiln.
●Clay tiles are then further treated in one of two ways:
Glazed ??color is added to the tile after firing.
●The glasslike surface is bonded to the tile.
●Glazing allows brighter colors to be used and adds stain resistance.
●Because of their slick, glassy surface, glazed tiles are used mostly on walls or countertops.
●Glazed tile offers more color choices than unglazed.

Unglazed
●Also called quarry tiles.
●The pigment or natural color is present during firing and is part of the tile itself.
●Unglazed tile needs sealing for stain resistance.
