Explains recommendations for the design considerations and installation of ceramic wall and floor tiling and mosaics in situations where there are specific functional, e.g. sterile conditions, or environmental requirements, e.g wet areas, and conditions that are potentially detrimental, e.g. chemical attack, to either or both the installation or the background.

This part of BS5385 gives recommendations for the design considerations and installation of ceramic wall and floor tiling and mosaics in situations where there are specific functional, e.g. sterile conditions, or environmental requirements, e.g. wet areas, and conditions that are potentially detrimental, e.g. chemical attack, to either or both the installation or the background. Recommendations are given for the choice of materials, application practices and, where appropriate, for the design of backgrounds and structural bases.

This part of BS5385 augments the recommendations given in BS5385‑1, BS5385‑2 and BS5385‑3.

NOTE BS5385‑1, BS5385‑2 and BS5385‑3 give recommendations for internal and external, wall and floor tiling and mosaics for exchanging information, time schedules, suitable materials, tile backgrounds and bases and their preparation, cement and sand rendering, movement joints, bedding methods for tiles and mosaics, grouting, protection, cleaning and maintenance.
