Ceramic tiles carry profound historical and cultural significance. As an ancient building material, they bear witness to the development of human civilization and embody the craftsmanship and aesthetics of different eras.
Combining both practical and artistic value, they not only provide shelter from the elements but also adorn roofs with diverse shapes. They have become symbols of regional architectural culture, connecting tradition and modernity, and embodying humanity's wisdom in adapting to nature and transforming the environment.
Today, we'll take you behind the production line and uncover the secrets of the "tempering journey" of a single ceramic tile!
The type and availability of clay depends greatly on the geological distribution. Different clays have different chemical compositions, mineral compositions, particle sizes, and plasticity, which directly affect the drying and firing conditions. The raw materials for ceramic tiles primarily include kaolin, magma, feldspar, and a small amount of solvent. These ingredients are crushed in a specific ratio, ball-milled into a fine slurry, and then pressed into shape using a filter press. Finally, they are thoroughly mixed in a twin-shaft mixer and granulated in a disc granulator to ensure a uniform texture. This series of steps lays a solid foundation for subsequent molding and firing, ensuring that each ceramic tile possesses both consistent quality and durability.

After drying, the tiles are glazed. This not only enhances and changes their appearance, giving them a unique visual appeal, but also protects the surface from wear and tear, improves their waterproof properties, and ensures their aesthetics and longevity.
Different glaze ratios can produce diverse color effects. This rich color selection not only precisely meets diverse design needs and aesthetic preferences, but also helps differentiate them from competing products and create a unique brand style.

高温烧制：
施釉后的瓦片进入高温烧制阶段，烧制是陶瓦生产过程中最为关键的一环，烧制温度、烧制时间都是影响瓦片品质的关键因素，需要严格控制。
陶瓦的烧制过程是一个不可逆的热化学过程，陶土在经过烧制后成为坚硬而耐久的陶器。除了硬度与耐久性之外，烧制过程还确定了产品的颜色、渗透性等等性能。
从泥土到屋面，陶瓦的每一步工艺都藏着古人的智慧与当代匠人的坚守。它不仅是遮风挡雨的建材，更是承载着时光温度的文化符号。下次抬头望见瓦檐，或许你会读懂，那一片片瓦里，藏着大地的呼吸与人类的匠心。
