Description

  The present invention relates to a mosaic tile used as a flooring material or a wall material.

  Mosaic tiles made of tile sheets in which a plurality of tile pieces are juxtaposed and integrated with a back surface material are widely used for floor materials and wall materials inside and outside buildings. In mosaic tiles, in addition to general ceramic tile pieces, natural stones and other stones are used to improve the landscape in response to the preference for stone materials such as floor stones and wall materials in the entrance porch of houses. Mosaic tiles with various appearances such as a stone piece configured as a tile piece are distributed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This type of mosaic tile construction is usually performed by a specialized contractor. However, in recent years, DIY (abbreviation for Do It Youlself), in which a person who is not a professional contractor himself repairs and refurbishes furniture, walls, and the like around his home, has attracted attention. DIY does not rely on specialized contractors, so it can be repaired and refurbished at low cost, and it is easy to finish repaired parts to your liking and enjoy the process of making them with your own hands. Known as a highly practical hobby. Thus, there is a demand for mosaic tiles that can be easily constructed without the need for specialized contractors even when repairing or refurbishing floor materials and wall materials.

The tile piece 21 is formed of an appropriate material such as ceramic, glass, thermoplastic resin, stone, or metal, and is appropriately colored as necessary. The plurality of tile pieces 21 are juxtaposed in an appropriate arrangement such as a grid shape or a hex shape corresponding to the shape of the tile piece 21. In the illustrated example, a plurality of tile pieces 21 are arranged in a grid pattern.

  The back material 25 is a sheet material that integrally holds the plurality of tile pieces 21. As the back material 25, for example, an appropriate sheet material such as a sticker, mesh paper, or net is used. Among these sheet materials, when using a sheet material having no adhesive performance such as a mesh paper or a net, the tile piece 21 is attached via a known adhesive. The adhesive sheet such as a sticker paper has the tile piece 21 attached thereto by an adhesive layer on the surface. The back material 25 of the embodiment is a reinforcing net in which a large number of filaments are knitted in a lattice shape. Since the reinforcing net is a sheet body made of a thread-like material, it has excellent strength in the surface direction and excellent flexibility in the vertical direction of the surface, so that the tile sheet 20 can be easily folded and accommodated in the packaging bag 11. Space saving can be achieved. The lattice shape of the back material 25 is an appropriate shape such as a quadrangle or a hexagon, and is configured as a hexagon in the illustrated example.
