A modular reinforcing grid for reinforcing and supporting a bed of mortar on a supporting surface. The grid is made up of thin strips positioned on edge and arranged to define openings of geometric shape. Mounting posts form junctions between adjacent strips to provide uniform depth to the grid. The exposed edges of the strips and the upper surfaces of the mounting posts lie in approximately the same plane to provide a grid for floating the mortar to a uniform depth. The grid is molded in uniform sizes and shapes with interlocking edges to provide continuous reinforcement and support for the mortar bed.

A modular reinforcing structure for use in setting tile comprising: a first and second series of primary strips arranged in intersecting relation to form a grid defining rectangular openings, mounting posts having axial openings therein at the intersections of said first and second series of primary strips to provide uniform depth to the grid, said grids and posts being formed integrally with each other with the upper edges of said primary strips being in the approximate plane of the upper surfaces of the posts and the lower edges of said primary strips at the approximate midlength of the posts; and secondary series of strips extending between posts on the diagonals of the openings, the secondary strips intersecting at the approximate midpoints of the openings and having upper edges which lie in a plane below the upper edges of said primary strips.
