Important Changes to Tiling Standards

[Tile Shop]

If you wanna re-mortgage and buy them, you or you can veiw them for by following this:
British Standards no longer available at Newcastle Library.... But here's another way. - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/british-standards-no-longer-available-at-newcastle-library-but-heres-another-way.83947/

Newcastle didn't have the funding to keep going. Other libraries have them but going through manchester was by far the easiest way.

Morning all. A while back I posted this thread about how to access british standards after Newcastle Library stopped doing them:
British Standards no longer available at Newcastle Library.... But here's another way. - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/british-standards-no-longer-available-at-newcastle-library-but-heres-another-way.83947/

Thing is, Manchester have them, but they have now blocked access to anyone not associated with their Intellectual Property Centre. So on the hunt for a new way.

New way to do it here: https://www.tilersforums.com/thread...-british-standards-for-free-these-days.89724/

I don't think they care. Can get the half price if you are a member of either BSI or the TTA

Would be 5mm, however we know that people wont do that for aesthetic reasons

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Read that in the TSJ and totally agree, 5mm joint in seamless work!
So who accepts responsibility?
Client?
Architect?
Interior designer?
And how does it get signed off?

I’am just a Tiler!

Down to Architect or Designer in my opinion to know what the standard is and apply it accordingly in the installation

 

[J Sid]

at the end of the day must be down to tiler.
whatever the architect or designer say it's the tiler doing the job and has to do it to the BS.

 

[J Sid]

must be down to the tiler not the architect or designer or even the Property owner
