    Abstract: There is a mounting plate for a tile veneer cladding system. The plate 1 is adapted for attachment across the wall panels or frame members of a structure by driving nails or screws through longituninal channels 3. The plate is formed with a plurality of resiliently deflectable locking tabs 4 which are disposed in vertically spaced rows among the length of the plate. The vertical spacing of these rows is chosen so that the upper edge 5A and lower edge 5B of each cladding tile 5 placed between adjacent rows are gripped and held prior to application of grout or adhesive.
