Context:
I am currently translating a handbook for a construction firm, and am having problems with three terms.
Unfortunately these terms are mentioned in a table and not in a complete sentence, so there's very little to go by...
I have divided these three words into three seprate questions, so as to award KudoZ point for each correct/most useful answer.
Thanks for your help!

extra hard baked tiles, 10cm.x10cm.
The first answer is ok. I only want to add that by 10x10 is meant 10cm.x10cm..
You knew that probably.
With kind regards,

10x10 cm double hard-burnt tile/flag
10x10 stands for the dimensions of the tile or flag, probably in cm.
dubbelhardgebakken: I know that hardgebakken = hard-burnt, so I am assuming that it has been "baked" twice (in a furnace to harden it).
I think tile would be if the thing were to be used on a wall, for instance in a bathroom. Flag is usually used for flooring tiles.
