Glazed
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002588
Describing a surface or material, such as a tile or brick, that has a vitreous, glass-like coating fused to it through firing. This coating makes the surface impervious to water, resistant to stains, and easy to clean. The process involves applying a liquid suspension of finely ground minerals and pigments before firing the object in a kiln at a specific temperature, resulting in a finish that ranges from high gloss to matte.
