Installation and maintenance

My durable backsplash tiles 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.

Discover the epitome of master craftsmanship with Leon's bespoke metal tile set, beautifully adorned with the historic 'Fleur De Lis' pattern. Consisting of six meticulously hand-engraved square tiles, this set converges to unveil a stunningly cohesive and intricate design, mirroring the rich tapestry of history the symbol represents. This masterpiece is available in three opulent metals: the warm and rustic copper, the contemporary and gleaming stainless steel, and the evergreen and luxurious brass.

The creation process of each tile reflects a dedication to the craft that few can match. Once the fleur de lis pattern is delicately carved onto the metal, a specialized patina is applied, deepening the grooves and accentuating the raised contours, adding depth and character. This process ensures that no two tiles are the same, making each set truly unique and unrepeatable.

The tiles' grandeur doesn't end with their appearance. They are thoughtfully sealed with a bespoke wax, offering protection from wear, moisture, and the test of time, rendering them perfect for diverse environments, be it the bustling kitchen, serene bathroom, or the great outdoors.

The Fleur De Lis in Culture & History:

The 'Fleur De Lis', or 'lily flower' when translated from French, is not just a design; it's a journey through time. Its roots trace back to ancient civilizations, with the symbol appearing in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Roman art, long before its famous association with French royalty. Over the centuries, the fleur de lis became emblematic of the French monarchy, representing purity, light, and divinity. This association was so profound that during pivotal moments in history, such as the French Revolution, the symbol was both revered and reviled, reflecting the nation's changing sentiments.

Its three-petal design, reminiscent of a lily's structure, has often been linked to religious trinities, particularly in Christianity, where it symbolizes the Holy Trinity. This association has embedded the fleur de lis in various religious artworks and sacred structures around the world.

As it traveled through time, the fleur de lis was embraced and interpreted by different cultures. From signifying the balance of life in ancient Egyptian culture to representing the three virtues of the medieval knights (wisdom, chivalry, and valor), the symbol's universality is a testament to its timeless appeal.

Owning this tile set is more than just a decor choice; it's an immersion into the rich tapestry of global history. Let each tile, with its shimmering metal and intricate pattern, narrate tales of ancient dynasties, gallant knights, and the ever-evolving dance of culture and artistry. With Leon's creation, you're not just installing tiles; you're embedding history into your space.
