A ceramic tile is the result of a sequence in which raw materials, industrial processing, firing, finishing and quality control transform a body into an architectural surface.
From minerals to ceramic body.
Clays and other mineral raw materials are selected, dosed, ground and mixed to create a homogeneous body. Composition varies according to the product and performance required.
The material takes shape.
The body is formed, generally by pressing or other specific processes, then dried to reduce residual moisture.
Heat consolidates structure and performance.
High-temperature firing transforms the material and contributes to compactness, resistance and final properties. Temperatures and cycles vary by technology and product type.
Design enters the industrial process.
Glazes, digital decoration, textures, reliefs and surface treatments create different aesthetic identities based on colour, material and three-dimensionality.
Dimensions, tone, surface, performance.
Before packing, products are selected and checked for dimensional conformity, appearance and required specifications.
