Manufacture of ceramic tiles and flags
NACE v2.0 Code: C23.31
About manufacture of ceramic tiles and flags
NACE code 23.31 covers the manufacture of ceramic tiles and flags, an essential industry that plays a vital role in the construction and renovation sectors. Ceramic tiles are a popular choice for flooring, wall coverings, and other architectural applications due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. This industry's products are in high demand, contributing significantly to the overall economy.
Production process
The production of ceramic tiles and flags typically involves several key steps. First, raw materials such as clay, feldspar, and quartz are carefully selected and processed. These materials are then mixed, shaped, and dried before being fired in high-temperature kilns. The firing process gives the tiles their characteristic hardness and resistance to wear and tear. Finally, the tiles may undergo additional finishing processes, such as glazing or polishing, to enhance their appearance and functionality.
Production inputs
The manufacture of ceramic tiles and flags requires a range of inputs, including clay, feldspar, quartz, and other mineral resources. Specialized machinery, such as mixing equipment, presses, and kilns, is also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, to power the high-temperature firing of the tiles.
Production outputs
The primary output of NACE code 23.31 is ceramic tiles and flags, which are used in a variety of construction and renovation projects. These products are often consumed by industries classified under 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 43.31 Plastering, and 43.33 Floor and wall covering, among others.
