Technical Details and Application

Painting and Glazing

Refsan underglaze ready-to-use paints are highly compatible with these tiles. Their flat surface is excellent for precision brushwork and traditional motifs.

• Ceramic Application: Fire between 1040°C and 1050°C for a durable, high-gloss finish.
• Tile (Çini) Application: Traditional tile glazes maturing at 900°C – 920°C provide an elegant, thin surface typical of classical Turkish tile art.

Decorative Use with Acrylic Paint

• Suitable only for dry, decorative indoor projects (no kiln firing required).
• Safety Warning: Acrylic-finished tiles are not waterproof or heat-resistant. A protective varnish is highly recommended to preserve the colors.

Craftsmanship & Material

Fired at 1050°C to reach its sturdy bisque state, each 5x5 Tile reflects the unique touch of artisanal production. Natural variations in thickness or clay tone are hallmarks of authentic handcrafted pottery, ensuring every project has an organic and professional look.

Firing Safety & Guidelines

• Surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of dust and dried before applying glaze.
• Strictly follow the temperature requirements of the specific glaze type used.
• Performing a test fire is suggested to observe how the kiln atmosphere influences the final bisque color.
