Shivering of cone 8 zirconium‐opacifled glazes for use on one‐fire pyrophyllite wall tile and warping of the tile body were corrected by increasing the thermal expansion of the glazes. This was accomplished by (1) increasing the alkali content, (2) substituting strontium oxide for zinc oxide, (3) substituting calcium oxide for magnesium oxide, and (4) decreasing the silica‐alumina ratio. The last method appeared to be the most effective. It is shown that the calculated coefficient of cubic thermal expansion is often unreliable as a value for the actual expansion. Expansions were obtained with a quartz‐rod dilatometer.
