The glass-ceramic glazes obtained are characterized by various instrumental techniques (X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), mechanical profilometry and microhardness measurements) to elucidate the nature of the crystallized phases, their morphology, surface roughness and the finished tile microhardness. The quality of the glazed piece is evaluated by the regulations of chemical resistance, stain-resistance and slipperiness. The enamel obtained devitrifies in crystals of calcium and barium silicoaluminates. It complies with anti-slip and stain-resistance standards, because its surface roughness is similar to that of non-slip enamel.enArticle
