✦ Synopsis

Installing Decorative Tiling Yourself.--Ceramic Industry for Feb. I932 describes a much simpler and more rapid method of laying tiles. The tiles are laid onto a metal lath backing which consists of a punched sheet of metal having special mechanically formed fingers or grippers projecting at right angles. The clips not only securely hold the tiles against the lath but also automatically bring them into correct alignment as they are snapped into place. Any home owner may install his own tile decorations with a minimum of inconvenience and trouble. The lath may be purchased with the tile and is fastened on over the plaster making removal of the latter unnecessary.
