Abstract
There is provided a novel adhesive-backed tile panel protected by a release sheet. The prefabricated tile panel comprises a substrate sheet composed of a core fabric and a heat-softening-adherent asphalt composition applied to the both surfaces of the fabric; an adhesive layer having convex and concave portions such as stripes of an adhesive not flowable but sticky at an ambient temperature; and tiles arranged regularly and secured to the asphalt composition layer of the substrate sheet. The convex portions and concave portions of the adhesive layer constitute the gaps through which air present between the tile panels and a substrate board can be purged upon installation of the tile panels. The tile panels can be installed readily on a substrate board having thereon horizontal indication means such as crosspieces by removing the release sheet, mounting the tile panels on the substrate board, and pressing the mounted tile panels to purge air present between the panels and the board through the gaps of the adhesive layer and to increase the effective adhesion areas of the adhesive layer. A unit substrate board having specified structures for assembling a preferred substrate board is also provided for installation of the tile panels.
