    British Standards 5385 1/5

    On the off chance, does anyone on the forums have access to BS5385 or know if there is anyway I could access? I am trying to access through local/national libraries without success. Renting them from BSI is well above my paygrade! Any help would be appreciated.

    TTA and British Standards.

    I emailed the TTA regarding a tile supplied by a TTA registered retailer, although this "issue" is common for many tiles and relates to nominal sizing. The nominal size is only a guideline. Size "in name only" for identification purposes. The size a tile is advertised as, but due to calibres...
