A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass, generally used for covering roofs, floors, walls, showers, or other objects such as tabletops.[1]
The first two videos show the production of a cement tile (encautics tile) with a pattern and different colours (Video by Viet Tiles Corparation, YouTube 2014 and 2015). The third one is similar (errouissi hicham, YouTube 2015, possibly from Morokko).
The next video (No 4) shows the production of ceramic tiles, hand-made by Catherin Carroll, Canada (BlackRock Tile, YouTube 2014). The decoration is laid on the tile like a relief. Ceramic tiles are also made in the following video "On the Job: ceramic tile maker" with a slightly different technique as the motive is embossed into the clay.
