The construction industry in developing countries is flourishing due to urbanization, and the global ceramic tile manufacturing market is anticipated to grow significantly with huge competition. So, it becomes extremely important for us to manage the manufacturing process without a single defect on the tile. As we are also associated with the same industry, we know tile manufacturing is an extremely energy-intensive & expensive process, so if we don’t take care of our manufacturing defects in tiles then we are going too long back in the competition. 

Here are the 10 defects in the tile manufacturing process that may destroy your chances to step up in the competition. So, before it ruins the aesthetics of your manufacturing process – let’s understand different types of major/critical manufacturing defects in tiles that may harm your organization’s image in the market and question your quality. 

1. Body Crack: It falls under Critical Defects, and it is deeply visible on the tile surface. This defect occurs due to the hitting of tiles in the green stage & body material issues.
2. Watermark: It falls under critical defect; it can be easily visible on the tile surface when we pour water on the back of the wall tiles.
3. Master Matching: it falls under Critical Defects & it is visible if sampling or production does not match with the Master copy.
4. Daunting: It falls under Critical Defects; this defect occurs due to excess pressure issues.
5. Miss Polish: It falls under Major Defects, this defect comes from a polishing line, and it occurs normally on the edge of the tile and in rare cases, it comes in the center of the tile.
6. Shade Variation: It falls under Major Defects; it is a variation of shade in the tiles with the same color in two tiles and it is easily visible.
