A system comprising a plurality of prefabricated tiled panels for installation on walls, floors and counters and intended for both interior or exterior use. Panels are selected to each include a particular segment of the overall tiled array. Thus, when all the panels are installed in a previously laid out configuration and the installation is completed, the installation displays the entire tile design without unsightly breaks. Provision is made for fastening panels to framing studs or flat surfaces. Each panel comprises a single base member made from any of a selection of materials that do not need waterproofing, and any size and type of tiles. It is easy to install by any relatively unskilled person. Benefits to builders and homeowners include good quality control due to the controlled manufacturing of the panels, low cost due to methods and materials employed, and practical low cost installation, requiring substantially less skill than that required for present day on site tiling. Also, faster installation resulting in better scheduling and less intrusion into construction projects. |
