"They are two layers to these tiles making them weaker than full porcelain tiles. The top layer will be very thin and is prone to Chipping"

"Doubled Loaded tile has two different raw materials pressed together during production to allow for the tile to have similar characteristics as a through body tile. The base of the tile is a normal body color (usually white) and the top 3mm of the tile has a colored material to give the surface color and character."
