What is a Ceramic Tile?
Ceramic tiles are relatively thin slabs of Ceramic Material in varying shapes and thickness. They are made from a mixture of clays, sand and other natural substances such as carbonates and fieldspar. The raw materials for the tile body are carefully mixed and ground and moulded into the required shapes, they are fired at high temperatures between 1000 degrees Celcius and 1250 degrees celcius depending on the type of the tile to be manufactured.
