This 100% copper tile includes a hanger so it can be hung directly on the wall. Makes a great gift!
The copper tile can also be used for a backsplash mural or for behind the range or use in your outdoor patio area. Or, even around the fireplace! It has a patina and a durable, high quality sealer. Not designed for floor use.
If creating a mural, fill the backs of the tiles with Thin Set mortar, attach to the wall and fill in between the tiles with grout. Can be cleaned with a mild liquid dish detergent and wiped dry with a soft cotton cloth. Do NOT use an abrasive sponge or pad.
If used outdoors, use a quality non-abrasive wax twice a year buy to protect finish.
Each durable tile is made by Monte Voepel, from start to finish, in his studio in Rimrock, Arizona.

PROCESS: I start each original tile design by carefully carving a die from carbon steel. Many hours later, the carving of the die is completed. Next, pure copper sheet is pressed into the die with the aid of an electric hydraulic press, which I fabricated myself. It takes many tons of force to achieve the details reflected in my tiles. After the tile is shaped and the design is captured, a patina is applied and then hand polished to bring out the rich beauty and personality of each copper tile. Next, a quality sealer is applied. Finally each tile is inspected and wrapped, ready to be shipped. I hope you enjoy your tiles as much as I have in creating them.
Because copper is a valuable metal, I recycle or reuse all of the scrap. My tiles have a high recycled copper content.
