ABSTRACT:
A porcelain address tile according to one embodiment of the present invention is bonded directly to the exterior surface of a brick wall with a structural adhesive. In order to hold the tile in place while the structural adhesive cures, a double-sided (peel and stick) adhesive material is applied to the rear surface of the porcelain tile. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a decorative construction module in the form of an address tile for incorporation into the wall of a structure includes a porcelain tile measuring approximately 3/8 inch thick which has an outer surface inscribed with name
umber and/or address information thereon and a backing block fabricated out of expanded polystyrene material and being bonded to the porcelain tile in order to create the completed module. The rectangular solid form of the module is sized and shaped so as to fit appropriately within a residential brick wall based upon the typical brick sizes and spacing of the mortar joints.
