CERAMIC TILE
Making ceramic tiles is a tried and true method that has been perfected over the years. Ceramic tile is essentially a durable glaze sealed on a heat treated clay tile body. It is one of the best methods to use when looking to form a highly durable tile that holds color in its truest form.

HOW IT’S MADE
It usually begins with a mix of clay, sand. and water. This mixture is pressed and heat treated in a mold which determines the shape of the tile. After the heat treatment, this product is called a “bisque”. The glaze is then applied to the top of the brique in either a solid color or design. It is fired again in a kiln, which solidifies the glaze and adds to the durability of the tile.
