Glazed Tiles: Glazed tiles are made by applying liquid glass onto clay surfaces, and then baking them. Both porcelain and ceramic tiles can undergo this process. Glazing enhances colour and patterns in ceramic tiles and seals the finish of porcelain tiles, making them resistant to moisture and stains. It also seals microscopic pores in both ceramic and porcelain, providing exceptional resistance to dirt and stains.
Polished Tiles: Polished porcelain tiles have natural porcelain surfaces polished similar to granite. This process opens tile pores, requiring sealing before installation. It's crucial to remove any wax residue before sealing to prevent contaminants from compromising the effectiveness of the sealant.
