Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking.
Internal Glazed Wall Tiles ~ the body of the tile can be made from
ball-clay, china clay, china stone, flint and limestone. The material
is usually mixed with water to the desired consistency, shaped and
then fired in a tunnel oven at a high temperature (1150°C) for
several days to form the unglazed biscuit tile. The glaze pattern
and colour can now be imparted onto to the biscuit tile before the
final firing process at a temperature slightly lower than that of
the first firing (1050°C) for about two days.
