Ever wondered why Route 66 is so immortalized in art and pop culture despite the road itself became totally obsolete? And why should they decorate their home with a copper road sign? Sometimes history can be the best inspiration. Route 66 is a symbol of new opportunities. Estabilized in 1926, not only did it help bring industry from the East to the West but also it gave people from many small towns first (!) access to major roads. Despite Route 66 has been removed from the national Highway System in 1985, it will always be remembered as the road which helped hundreds of thousands of individuals escape from the Dust Bowl. There was a TV show called 'Route 66' about two young men's roadtrip in a Corvette, Bobby Troup wrote a song '(Get your kicks on) Route 66' after his cross-country drive from Pennsylvania to California and John Steinbeck called Route 66 the 'Mother Road' in one of his novels… It turns out that I was not the only one who got inspired by this 'superhighway' linking Chicago to Los Angeles.
Installation and maintenance
My durable products are 0.2" thick (6 mm) and very easy to install - just like regular tiles, using about 0.18" (3 mm) grout. Moreover, the maintenance is not a problem. Use 1/2 cup of liquid dishwashing detergent and 2 cups of warm water or mild soap solution. Use a soft cloth or rag, not an abrasive sponge, nor a pad. When cleaning the tile's surface, wipe it gently then rinse the cloth or rag with warm water. Wipe the tile's surface until you make sure that any soap or dishwashing detergent residue is removed. Then dry the surface with a soft cloth or a rag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the tiles made of?
All my tiles are made of 100% real copper. It is not painted plastic or other copper-colored material that you can see from other manufacturers. I also offer tiles made of 100% brass and stainless steel.
What are the tiles covered with?
The tiles are covered with patina - a protective liner against corrosion and another side effects which metals are exposed to. In some cases, copper can turn green. This process is natural and it might be avoided by adding acrylic finish on the top of the metal. However, UV sun exposure will break down the finish after some time. This is why we don't recommend acrylic topping.
What is the average lead time?
All of my art pieces are handmade and custom, therefore the lead time may be 7 up to 17 days. In exceptional circumstances (i.e. very large, customized tile) the waiting time can be even longer. The customer will be informed about the extended lead time right away.
Can I order the tile (or tiles) in a custom size?
Yes, of course. Customers decide about the sizes of the tiles I make. Please contact me and specify which size would satisfy you.
Can you create custom-designed pieces?
Yes. My experience qualifies me to embody custom designs. I can make any pattern which my customer would like. Moreover, I can change/add a writing (for instance an important date, name or something sentimental, personal). Should you be interested in a custom-designed piece, please contact me directly so that we can discuss the details
