British Standards in Wall and Floor Tiling BS 5385 for Free
Okay, so if you've been following the forum over the last few days you'll see we've firstly moaned about the price of British Standards in Wall and Floor Tiling, then figured out by a poll that nearly nobody has a copy of the British Standards BS5385 and a shocking amount of tilers haven't even read the UK standards for wall and floor tiling (not their fault mind!).
So I managed to first get a list of Libraries that can give you access to the full range of british standards in wall and floor tiling, bs 5385 is the British Standards code, not just tiling, but all standards for other things such as plastering, rendering, decorating, plumbing etc.
Then I found and contacted a library that you can register to and access the full range of british standards for tiling (bs 5385) no matter where you live in the country.

Then use your PIN that I think comes through the post to access the BSOL (British Standards Online). You can't print them (that would be in breach of copyright rules etc). But you can read them and take some notes and whatnot. You can summarise the text and put it in your own words etc.
