Abstract
A pre-leveled, integrated mosaic sheet consists of a flat, rigid supporting board having an array of uniformly spaced small holes for coupling tesserae to a target wall, wherein the tesserae are pre-patterned and attached to the supporting board's front surface, each of which covering at least one of the small holes.
Claims15
A pre-leveled, integrated mosaic sheet, consisting of:
- a rigid flat supporting board with a square shape and an even thickness, said board having an array of uniformly spaced small round holes perpendicular to said board;
- and
- an array of uniformly spaced tesserae fixed to said board's front surface using a first binding substance, each of said tesserae covering at least one of said small holes such that when said board's back surface is fixed to a wall using a second binding substance, said second binding substance binds said tesserae to said wall through said small holes.
The pre-leveled, integrated mosaic sheet of claim 3, wherein said board's thickness is approximately 1-5 mm.
A supporting board for pre-leveled mosaic installation, consisting of:
- a rigid flat member with a square shape and an even thickness, said flat member having an array of uniformly spaced small round holes perpendicular to said flat member;
- a coating of binding substance evenly coated on said flat member's front surface, said binding substance being fit to bind a tessera to said flat member;
- and
- a peelable non-sticky paper covering said binding substance.
1 more element
A process for making an integrated mosaic sheet convenient for mosaic installation, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a rigid flat board with a square shape and an even thickness;
- (b) punching an array of uniformly spaced small round holes perpendicular to said flat board;
- (c) fixing an array of uniformly spaced tesserae to said board's front surface using a binding substance, each of said tesserae covering at least one of said small holes such that when said board's back surface is fixed to a wall using a second binding substance, said second binding substance binds said tesserae to said wall through said small holes.
