Abstract
Abstract Unit tile comprising a tile member of a desired shape and thickness, which is made of a synthetic resinous material having flexibility, an adhesive layer formed on a rear side of the tile member, and a release paper attached to the surface of the adhesive layer to cover and protect the adhesive surface. The unit tile of the present invention is formed of a plurality of tile members. The tile members are disposed on a thin, flexible substrate, leaving spaces corresponding to joints between the respective tile members. The rear side of the substrate has the adhesive layer which is covered by the release paper. This unit tile may have marginal portions usable as overlaps for splicing. With such a configuration of the unit tile, the unit tile may easily and accurately set on walls etc., while conforming it to the configuration of the setting walls etc.
