Wall tiles contain inorganic materials such as clay, kaolin and feldspar, but they may also include other raw materials. The production technology of tiles is dry pressing. The required composition is blended with water to form slurry. This slurry then fed into spray driers to form uniform granules ready for compaction. These granules are then shaped to form the green body. The formed green body may then be glazed if required. The green ceramic body is fired at high temperatures, resulting in a hard body. VitrA wall tiles come in several various dimensions depending on the intended use. Wall tiles have water absorption of more than 10%.
