ABSTRACT:
Tiles 60 inches long fit on a wall along the length of a standard bathtub, and when cut in half, fit on walls at ends of a standard bathtub. Each tile has a lip and flange that overlap adjacent tiles in a way that makes grouting unnecessay between adjacent tiles. A mastic bead between adjacent tiles is hidden from view and seals out moisture. An edge of a tile front surface slopes down from the flange of one tile to drain moisture away from the lip and flange. The lip and flange also abut in a way that aligns one tile with another.
