Pencil tiles
See Listel.

Porcelain stoneware tiles
Porcelain tiles are obtained from raw materials such as kaolin, feldspars or different granulometry quartz sands, mixed with coloured oxides.
This mixture is then dry-pressed or fired at temperatures of up to 1250°C to obtain very compact and high quality tiles. Porcelain tiles can be full-body or glazed.

Pressing
It is the method by which tiles are shaped.
Tiles are shaped by forcing the raw material through special moulds to obtain the intended size.
