Our products are in bisque form; they become ready for use after glazing and firing.
Painting and Glazing
Our Refsan ready-to-use underglaze paints can be safely used on both tile and ceramic bisque. The glazing process enhances both the aesthetic appearance and durability of the product.
Ceramic Products: When glazing ceramic bisque items, ceramic glazes must be used. Ceramic glazes typically mature between 1040°C and 1050°C, providing a smooth surface and helping extend the product’s lifespan.
Tile Products: When glazing tile bisque items, tile glazes must be used. Tile glazes are fired at approximately 900°C - 920°C, resulting in a fine and elegant surface.
Firing
Our products are carefully fired at 1050°C to achieve bisque form. The firing temperature increases durability and makes colors more pronounced. Different firing times and temperatures can affect the surface characteristics and aesthetic appearance of the products.
Acrylic Paint
Acrylic paints can be used for decoration; however, this process is not suitable for food contact. Applying a protective varnish after acrylic painting is recommended. Acrylic painting does not require firing and allows decorative use, but such paints should not be used on items intended for food contact.
Possible Variations in Products
In bisque products produced by casting or wheel throwing, variations in thickness and size may occur. Casting may create thin or thick areas depending on structural characteristics. These differences reflect each product’s uniqueness and handcrafted nature.
The use of different clay types can cause natural tone variations. The color of ceramic and tile bisques depends on the clay used. For example, white clay produces lighter tones, while red clay results in darker and warmer tones.
Product Durability
Our products become durable through firing and glazing. However, care and usage conditions may vary by product type. Ceramic items are generally more resistant to external factors but require careful handling. Acrylic-painted decorations may wear over time.
