Abstract
Abstract A flexible strip facing material, formed from particles (2) of hard material bound together and secured on a perforated support (1) by means of a macromolecular binder, is adapted to be stuck by its rear face (5) to a wall or other surface in such a manner as to leave visible the face (4) covered with the particles. The edges (3 and 8) of the material are cut in bevels at the angles A and B in such a manner that when two strips are stuck edge to edge the joint between them remains imperceptible, the angle B being less than the angle A. This material is used as a facing for the protection and decoration of walls of buildings.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A strip facing material having a visible face and an opposed nonvisible face and adapted to be applied to the walls of buildings, comprising a flexible and extensible perforated support, and a covering of particles of hard material bound together and secured to one of the faces of the flexible support by a flexible transparent macromolecular binder with a low water retention, characterised in that one of the two longitudinal edges of the strip facing material is cut in a first bevel in such a manner that, along this edge, the visible face of the facing material overhangs in relation to the nonvisible face, and in that its other longitudinal edge is cut in a second bevel in such a manner that, along this other edge, the visible face of the facing material is set back in relation to the nonvisible face, the angle of the second bevel measured from a line perpendicular to said faces being less than that of the first bevel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A strip facing material having a visible face and an opposed nonvisible face and adapted to be applied to the walls of buildings, comprising a flexible and extensible perforated support, and a covering of particles of hard material bound together and secured to one of the faces of the flexible support by a flexible transparent macromolecular binder with a low water retention, characterised in that one of the two longitudinal edges of the strip facing material is cut in a first bevel in such a manner that, along this edge, the visible face of the facing material overhangs in relation to the nonvisible face, and in that its other longitudinal edge is cut in a second bevel in such a manner that, along this other edge, the visible face of the facing material is set back in relation to the nonvisible face, the angle of the second bevel measured from a line perpendicular to said faces being less than that of the first bevel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
