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.

Introduction:

Nestled within Leon's distinguished collection on Etsy is a handcrafted gem that marries the world of human artistry with the majestic aura of the king of beasts. This meticulously crafted 13-tile mural is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a statement, an ode to the magnificence of lions and their profound influence on human culture and history. As with every creation from Leon's workshop, each tile is hand-forged, ensuring that what you receive is not just a product, but a true embodiment of dedication and passion.

Features & Details:

1. Central Royal Design: The heart of this mosaic is captured by the largest tile, intricately etched with the face of a lion. With its piercing eyes and a mane that seems almost wind-toused, this tile doesn't just depict a lion—it invokes its regality, power, and grace.

2. Ornamental Framework: The lion's profound visage is framed by 12 meticulously designed tiles. While these tiles are 'empty' in design, they serve a vital function. They amplify the prominence of the central motif, creating an aura of reverence and admiration around it.

3. Geometric Harmony: Adding a touch of geometric beauty to the design are the 8 elongated rectangular tiles that gracefully contour the central motif, lending an aura of fluidity and motion. The 4 square tiles at the corners provide a balanced and harmonious structure, sealing the design with perfection.

4. Material Mastery: Choose your narrative - the rustic allure of copper, the sleek sophistication of stainless steel, or the timeless elegance of brass. Each material choice narrates a different story.

5. Artful Patina Finish & Wax Protection: Every tile is accentuated with a patina finish, deepening the design's visual appeal and lending uniqueness to each piece. The artisanal wax coating is not just protective; it's a shield that preserves the mural's luster against time's relentless march.

6. Endless Installation Possibilities: Leon’s creations, while bearing the hallmark of opulence, are versatile. Whether it's the kitchen's backsplash or the exterior garden wall, these tiles can transform any space they adorn.
