Ceramic Tiles – Styles & Construction:

Ceramic tiles come to two basic constructions, glazed and unglazed. The body of ceramic tile (called: bisque) may be coated with a glaze or without depending on its intended purpose.

Glazed: The glaze is made up of coloured glass and applied and baked to the surface of the bisque under very high temperatures. Glazed ceramic tiles are a great choice for bathrooms, kitchens, walls and countertops. Glazing helps make ceramic tiles resistant to stains, scratches, fire, sunlight and slips. If a tile does get scratched or chipped, the under-colour will show through and the tile may need to be replaced.

Unglazed: The colour of the bisque is the same all the way through the tile, so if a tile gets scratched or chipped it will not be as noticeable as with glazed tiles. Depending on the type of unglazed tile, you may need a special sealer.
