The external contours of the male parts (2) match exactly the Internal contours of their corresponding female parts (5). There is a snap fit between these two parts when the male part is inserted into the corresponding female part to form the snap-lock fixing arrangement. The male part (2) is either integral to said mother plate (3) or welded to it. The ceramic liner is either a square ceramic tiles arrangement or an interlocked type arrangement of ceramic tiles.
