The baking of this ceramic granite is done in special furnaces at a temperature of up to 1300 degrees centigrade. To ensure homogenity and increase the tiles' durability the ceramic granite is constantly shifted around in the furnace and the temperature changes at preprogrammed time intervals. This step in the manufacturing process is of great importance as it is at that moment when ceramic granite obtains the qualities that distinguish it from other coating materials. The baking of ceramic granite is significantly longer than of regular ceramic tiles.
