ABSTRACT:
An adjustable template is illustrated having an elongated continuous guide (A) carrying a number of longitudinally spaced blocks (B) for accommodating floor tiles 25 of various widths, lengths and thicknesses. The blocks are manually adjustable on the longitudinal guides by adjustment of the threaded fasteners (C). The height of the legs (E) is vertically adjustable within receptacles (D) carried by a respective block on each side of the elongated guide (A). The method contemplates the laying of a single longitudinal row of tiles 30 while maintaining a next previously layed row of tiles 31 preparatory to laying and positioning of an additional row of tiles by movement of the apparatus across the previous longitudinal row of tiles.
