| Carreaux emmaillés non-vitrifies unglazed ceramic tiles Explanation: Hello I'm not an expert but firstly, we don't say "enameled' tiles. The pictures I saw in French are for me what I would call ceramic tiles and this term gets loads of hits in English so I assume this term is the equivalent of the French As for your other question about the site, it is giving a reference to a French work. In English, we do have the word 'vitrified' but we don't use it very often. If there are subtle differences between glazed and vitrified, an expert would have to explain them To sum up, I think my suggestion is probably right but I'm not 100% sure Reference: http://www.homedepot.com/c/SV_HS_Unglazed_Ceramic_Tiles Reference: http://www.dogwoodceramics.com/product/unglazed-ceramic-bisq... |

| Carreaux emmaillés non-vitrifies glazed, non-vitrified tiles Explanation: Vitrification does not mean glazing! You can have glazed vitrified tiles, unglazed vitrified tiles, glazed unvitrified tiles etc. Vitrification is about high temperature firing that changes the structure of the clay. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrified_tile |
