Ceramic tiles are made by a process in which clay is pressed, cut into shapes and fired in a kiln to create hard tiles. Most manufacturers also cover tiles with a glaze before firing to add to the tile’s hardness and functionality. Ceramic tiles that have been glazed are easier to clean and resist weather and moisture more effectively. Tiles that are unglazed can look stunning and some people prefer them because they are less slippery. If you plan on using unglazed ceramic tiles for your floors, however, you will want to make sure that they are covered with a protective sealant. This will help prevent stains and will protect your floors. The process of manufacture may vary slightly from location to location and also the quality of clay available.
