<p>A method of hanging tiles comprises providing a surface to be clad with horizontally extending, elongate supports each having an upper flange (3) having a downwardly extending lip (4) defining an open-bottomed groove (42). A lower flange has a series of tile retention pips (12) or a bead extending along its upper surface. The tiles have flanges (24) projecting upwardly from their upper edge, the flanges being spaced from the front surfaces of the tiles. The tiles further have ribs (26) extending horizontally along a lower region of their rear surfaces. The flanges (24) are offered up into the groove (42) during assembly and the ribs (26) retained behind the pips or beads (12) following assembly.</p> |
