Ceramic tile is simply a mixture of clays, molded into a shape and fired at high temperatures - resulting in a hard body. This hard body may be left untreated or it may receive a glazed wear layer. All the raw materials that go into making ceramic tile come from the earth, including the colors of the glaze.

While man has been successful in finding ways to improve upon many products by substituting natural materials with synthetics, ceramic tile has remained basically unchanged for thousands of years. The clay body, which is also called "bisque", consists of various types of clay and other minerals. Combined these raw materials give the bisque its strength and stability
