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.

**The Fleur De Lis: From Ancient Symbols to Cultural Icon**

The 'Fleur De Lis', which translates to 'lily flower', is a symbol that has stood the test of time, evolving and adapting yet holding onto its majestic essence. Although its exact origins are lost in the annals of history, echoes of its significance can be found from the great pyramids of Egypt to the stately chateaus of France.

In the French realm, the fleur de lis was not merely a decorative motif but held deep-seated connotations. It came to symbolize the divine right of kings, blending notions of purity, divinity, and power. Its tri-petal design, reminiscent of a lily, has been open to diverse interpretations—from being a symbol of the Holy Trinity in Christian teachings to representing chivalric values like valor, wisdom, and faith.

But its impact isn't limited to royalty and religion. Over centuries, the fleur de lis has graced countless art pieces, medieval tapestries, and architectural wonders. It's witnessing the rise and fall of empires, lent its essence to revolutions, and stood tall as an emblem of resilience and grace.

With Leon's Diagonal Fleur De Lis Panorama, you're not merely acquiring a decorative element; you're embracing cultures of history, art, and culture. Each tile, handcrafted with dedication and passion, is a chapter in this grand narrative—a tale of beauty, heritage, and timeless elegance.
