Glazed tiles are made exactly the same way as unglazed tiles, but they undergo an additional process. A glass wear layer is applied then subjected to tremendous heat in a kiln. This process liquefies the glass and fuses it to the bisque.

A glazed tile offers an unlimited array of beautiful colors and designs, and creates a surface that is practically stainproof. While appropriate for uses that range from light residential use to medium commercial traffic, most glazed tiles are not considered suitable for heavy duty commercial use.

Unglazed tiles are simply baked pieces of clay whose colors are determined by the mineral content of the clay. These tiles are the workhorses of the industry. Generally thicker and denser than glazed tiles, they include products such as quarry tiles and porcelains. The rugged surface texture and matte finish of the tiles give them a slip-resistant quality for use in wet areas. The toughness of unglazed tiles make them ideally suited (but not limited to) extra heavy commercial installation.

Colors, which are limited to the natural colors of the clay, range from light sand to darker red brick tones. To increase the color range, manufacturers achieve a wide range of beautiful colors by mixing color pigment in with the clay.
