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.

2. Ornate Peripheral Design: Surrounding this central image is a sequence of 12 tiles that create a compelling ornament. While eight of the tiles are intentionally blank to offer a visual resting place and emphasize the lion's magnificence, the remaining four, positioned at each corner, are embossed with a lion's paw pattern, capturing the essence of the lion's path and its indelible mark on the world.

The choice of metal contributes not only to aesthetics but to the broader theme that this artwork represents.

5. Versatility in Placement:** These tiles, though rich in symbolism and artistry, are designed for versatility. They can enhance the aesthetics of a kitchen backsplash, bring character to a bathroom, or serve as a central piece in a living room. The possibilities are limitless.

The Symbolism of the Lion:

The lion, often regarded as the "King of Beasts," holds a special place in various cultures and traditions. Its strength, courage, and majestic presence have made it a symbol of royalty and stateliness. In ancient Egypt, the lion was associated with the war goddess Sekhmet. In Greco-Roman tradition, it was associated with love and power.

In African cultures, the lion symbolizes strength, patience, and wisdom. Its roar is considered to communicate with the divine, sending messages between the earthly realm and the spiritual world.

Even in modern popular culture, the lion remains a symbol of leadership, bravery, and honor. Its image adorns flags, coats of arms, and is often used in literature and film to represent noble characters.
