Abstract
A device making it possible to install tiles or any other decorative design in the form of a panel, particularly on walls or floors, wherein these decorative designs are laid down and adhere by adhesive prebonding on a mesh consisting of a trellis of filaments, the said panels are formed of two parts, an external polygon consisting of mosaics arranged in rigorously defined positions which determine the manner in which the panels fit together, and a random arrangement inside the said polygon or frame with a density of mosaics or stones such that they do not touch and do not form any alignment, the juxtaposition of the said panels formed in this way provides a final appearance devoid of connection joint lines.
Claims3
A tile mosaic panel comprising:
- a mesh base for mounting tiles and having longitudinal and transverse edges thereon;
- polygonal tiles mounted in coplanar relation on the base and in non-orthogonal relation to the edges;
- a number of the tiles located inwardly of the edges being arranged arbitrarily on the mesh base;
- and
- a number of the tiles disposed along each edge arranged in a respective repeating pattern and partially overhanging a corresponding edge to form a jagged edge that meshes with an abutting jagged edge of an adjacently situated panel so as to conceal joint therebetween.
