Ceramic tiles are primarily made from a mixture of natural clay, sand, and other raw materials. The mixture is shaped and then fired at high temperatures in a kiln, which hardens the material and gives it durability. Additional components, such as feldspar and minerals, may be added to enhance specific qualities like color and texture. The resulting tiles can be glazed or unglazed, depending on their intended use.
