It is further recommended that these stone be released as part or normal maintenance procedures.

Variations of these characteristics can occur between production lots of the same product type and are inherent characteristics resulting from the manufacturing process.

Glazing on extreme relief (textured) ceramic tiles will vary in thickness and as a result the glazing may appear darker and lighter in different areas throughout the tile.
