All ceramic tile products are subject to differences in color, shape, size, moisture absorption, thickness, and texture. Specialty, handmade ceramic tile may present small imperfections such as dents, tiny cracks, and chips, that add character to the handmade product and are not considered defects. Glazed ceramic tiles are subject to crazing. Crazing is the cracking solely within the fired glaze due to tensile stresses, temperature fluctuation, or expansions and contraction of the tile body or setting bed. It is not considered a defect, and may occur after installation
