The eighth surface 37 is parallel to the ninth surface 38, the seventh surface 36 is perpendicularly connected to the eighth surface 37 and the ninth surface 38, the eighth surface 37 and ninth surface 38 are at opposite side of the seventh surface 36, a plurality of third mounting hole are arranged to the eighth surface 37, a distance between each third mounting hole is consistent.

(41) FIG. 13 shows a kind of backing plate disclosed by the invention, the backing plate has a thin plate structure, a U-typed opening for inserting an expansion screw is arranged to one side of the backing plate, the backing plate has a thickness of 1 mm or 3 mm, this is good for making a combination of different thickness backing plate according to the unevenness of the rough wall 2 surface so as to fill a space between a trim strip and the rough wall 2, and to adjust a vertical state of tile at the same time.

(42) FIG. 14 shows another kind of backing plate disclosed by the invention, the backing plate has a thin plate structure, a U-typed opening for inserting an expansion screw is arranged to one side of the backing plate, a lug consistent with a shape of the U-typed opening is arranged to an opposite side of the U-typed opening, the lug is good for taking the backing plate during inserting the backing plate into a space between the trim strip and the wall 2, this structure is also good for arranging punching line when the die punches material, a utilization rate of materials is improved, which can make full use of the entire strip, as shown in FIG. 15.

(43) FIG. 18 shows the auxiliary tool for temporary fixing of tile, the tool has a triangle bracket arranged to each side of the tool, a crossbar is connected with two triangle brackets, a distance between two crossbars can be adjusted according to a tile height, the crossbar is used to temporarily support the tiles and prevent them from falling over.

(44) The laying method disclosed by the invention uses EPE foam instead of cement mortar, a thickness of the EPE foam is 5 mm, the tiles directly appress the EPE foam, so this laying method eliminates a cement mortar bonding layer having a thickness of 10 mm and reduces loss of use area indoors.

(45) In traditional dry hanging method, there may be only a few 4 hanging points on the back of the tile, and the total contact surface is about 0.5%-1% of the area the entire back of the tile. When a front of the tile is impacted, the impact force is borne by the hanging point, and the hanging point has been cut out of a groove for installing a metal hook, and the metal hook and the tile are both rigid, so the hanging point is a load concentration point and a weak point of the entire tile. Therefore, when the tile is subjected to a certain impact, the tile may be easily broken at the hanging point. The invention discloses the laying method that the tile is intact without any cutting for groove, and that the EPE foam is laid behind the tile to provide a buffer layer between the tile and the wall 2, so the tile has no load concentration point, when a front of tile is hit, impact force is released to the EPE foam through the entire back of the tile. The load is balanced and there is no load concentration point, so the tile is not easy to break.

(46) Since the EPE foam on the back of tile bears the load on the entire back of the tile, the larger the area of a single tile, the smaller the load on the unit area of EPE foam, and the smaller the deformation of the unit area on the EPE foam. That is, the less likely the tile is to be displaced in the direction of the normal phase of the tile surface. The hardness of the large tiles laid with EPE foam is as hard as that of large tile bonded with cement mortar after curing, but the weight of EPE foam is lighter than that of cement mortar.
