Qeramike

Qeramike is a term originating from Albanian that refers to ceramic materials. These materials are typically inorganic and non-metallic, processed by heat and then cooled. Common examples of qeramike include pottery, tiles, and bricks. The production of qeramike involves shaping raw materials like clay, feldspar, and silica, followed by firing in a kiln at high temperatures. This process causes chemical and physical changes, resulting in a hard, durable, and often waterproof product. The properties of qeramike can vary greatly depending on the specific raw materials used and the manufacturing techniques employed. Historically, qeramike has played a significant role in human civilization, serving purposes ranging from cookware and storage to construction and decorative arts. Today, qeramike continues to be widely used in various applications, including sanitary ware, electrical insulation, and advanced technical components due to its resistance to heat, corrosion, and wear.
