Title: Modular elements for covering floors and walls with tiles and the like

Abstract: Preformed modular element for forming floor and wall coverings in combination with tiles and the like. The assembled modular elements define an array of regularly shaped cavities, each adapted to receive at least one tile. The cavities are preferably of a lesser depth than the tile thickness, thus resulting in an array of grooves between adjacent tiles, corresponding to the modular elements that separate the tiles and are depressed of the top faces thereof; finishing strips being received in the grooves of such a thickness to be flush with the tile top faces.
