Technical Details and Applications

Painting and Glazing

• Underglaze Painting: Refsan ready underglaze paints can be safely used on both tile and ceramic bisque products for patterns, motifs, and color applications.
• Ceramic Glazing: Ceramic glazes generally mature between 1040°C and 1050°C, creating a smooth surface and improving long term durability.
• Tile Glazing: Tile glazes are typically fired between 900°C and 920°C, providing a fine and elegant finish.

Firing

Our products are carefully fired at 1050°C to reach the bisque stage. This firing temperature increases durability and enhances the clarity of the body color. Different firing temperatures and soaking times may affect the surface characteristics and overall appearance.

Acrylic Paint for Decorative Use

• Acrylic paints can be used for decorative painting.
• Warning: Acrylic paint is not suitable for food contact.
• Applying a protective varnish after acrylic painting is recommended.
• Acrylic decoration does not require firing and is suitable for decorative applications.
• These paints should not be used on items intended for food or health related contact.

Handmade Character and Possible Variations

In bisque products produced by casting or wheel throwing, minor differences in thickness and dimensions may occur. In casting, thinner or thicker areas can form depending on the structural properties of the piece. These variations reflect the uniqueness of each item and the natural effect of craftsmanship.

Different clay bodies can also create natural tone differences. The color of ceramic and tile bisque may vary depending on the type of clay used. For example, white clay produces lighter bisque tones, while red clay results in darker and warmer tones.

Durability and Care Notes

Our products become durable after glazing and firing. However, care and usage conditions may vary depending on the application. Ceramic items are generally more resistant to external factors but still require careful handling. Decorative finishes made with acrylic paint may wear over time.

Important Notes for Glazing and Firing

• The product must be cleaned and fully dried before glazing.
• Ceramic and tile glazes mature at different temperatures, so the correct firing schedule must be followed.
• After acrylic painting, varnishing helps protect against external factors.
• Different firing temperatures may affect the bisque color, so preliminary testing is recommended.
