CERAMIC TILE CONSTRUCTION The construction of a ceramic tile is quite simple.
The bisque is the body of the tile, made of clay. The glaze is colored glass,
which provides the design and surface finish of the tile. These two components
become permanently fused together in the firing process.

Interceramic
Tile
Have you ever wondered how wall tile can begin basically as dirt and end up as
your beautiful kitchen countertops and backsplashes, virtually impervious to
damage? Well, we took a look at Interceramic's Garland, Texas wall tile factory
to get the dirt on tile. Interceramic begins the production process by procuring
the finest raw materials available. The body is a combination of the earth's
natural resources and elements including silica, talc and calcium carbonate.
Each of these ingredients is inspected for quality prior to entering the production
process. The bulk clay is then broken down into a more manageable state in the
crushers. Then the various clays are loaded onto large conveyors where they are
delivered to storage silos where each raw material has its own silo..

Glazed Ceramic Tile Glazed Ceramic Tile is comprised of two basic elements, clay
and water. Various clays are mined, ground and blended to a fine powder, and
pressed together to form the body of the tile. The pressed clay body is then
dried to reduce the moisture content. Next, the surface of the tile is coated
with a colored glaze (similar to glass). The glaze is then permanently fused
to the surface of the tile by firing it in kilns at approximately 2000° Fahrenheit,
to form the finished product. Porcelain Tile Porcelain tile is made from a blend
of fine-grain clays and other minerals to produce a very dense body, which makes
it highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. Because of these features,
porcelain tile will withstand years of heavy foot traffic in both interior and
exterior applications while maintaining its color and beauty.
