A glaze is a vitrified covering that is practically impermeable. The baked ceramic tiles are dipped in the glaze solution, which is usually liquid coloured glass, and again baked for a second time so that the glaze fuses with the tile. Lighter glazes are harder than darker glazes. Matte and Satin surface finishes are harder than shiny surface finishes. The glaze holds the colour and the pattern of the tile.
