Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0237333A2] To avoid the need for nailing through tiles and other cladding elements (10), they are formed with oppositely directed hook formations (30,32) at opposite edges. These engage support means, which may be retaining profiles (40) mounted on battens (50). For example, an upwardly facing hook formation (30) is engageable under a downwardly directed supporting tongue (46) when the element is tilted. It can then be pivoted about that tongue (76), into its cladding configuration. Its other hook formation (32) snap-engages behind the tongue (46) of the adjacent support means, which already engages the upwardly facing hook portion (30) of another cladding element. Each support profile (40) extends for most of the width of one or more elements (10) and provides support (48).
