This part of BS 5385 gives recommendations for the design
considerations and installation of ceramic wall and floor tiling
and mosaics in situations where there are special functional or
environmental requirements and/or conditions that are potentially
detrimental to either the installation or the background or both.
Recommendations are given for the choice of materials, application
practices and, where appropriate, for the design of backgrounds and
structural bases.
This part of BS 5385 augments the recommendations given in
BS 5385‑1, BS 5385-2 and BS 5385-3.
