Spalt

Spalt is a quality control method used in manufacturing, especially for materials like metal, glass, or ceramic tiles. It involves intentionally creating a controlled crack or fissure in the material to achieve a specific aesthetic or functional effect. This process not only enhances visual appeal but can also relieve internal stresses, preventing unpredictable breaking. In the case of ceramic tiles, Spalt can give a natural, textured look, mimicking imperfections found in nature. However, it is carefully controlled to ensure the integrity and durability of the final product.
