Improvement of surface quality of opaque floor tile glazes was the main purpose of this study. Opaque floor tile glaze was produced by mixing different frit compositions. Effects of softening point on glaze surface properties were investigated by thermal analysis. It was found that by increasing softening point of glaze composition surface defects can be solved and nanosized crystals similar to the wavelength of incident light can be achieved to obtain high opacity.
