Claim:
A combination of at least two tiles and a device for mounting said tiles adapted to be fixed by a layer of material to a substrate, comprising: at least first and second tiles, each of said tiles having at least one corner and a predetermined thickness, said one corner of said first tile being spaced at a predetermined distance from said one corner of said second tile; a planar body with upper and lower surfaces having a generally centered opening free of obstruction to allow direct, perpendicular, and unimpeded visual access of said one corner of each of said first and second tiles and its corresponding tiles to ensure proper alignment and spacing; and at least two legs extending generally perpendicular from said body from each of said upper and lower surfaces, said legs from said upper surface having a first predetermined width to form a first space consisting of a first predetermined distance and said legs from said lower surface having a second predetermined width to form a second space consisting of a second predetermined distance, wherein said upper or lower surfaces may be pressed against said corresponding tiles for proper leveling and spacing of said tiles on the substrate.
