What's the difference between Glazed and Unglazed Tiles?
Tiles can be unglazed or glazed. Basically an unglazed tile contains the same colour and base raw material throughout the body and normally have no decorations or patterns. A glazed tile consists of the clay body (or bisque) covered with a glaze that is applied, and fired, separately. The glazes are formed from sand, kaolin clay, previously prepared glazes and oxide-based pigments to provide the colour.
