Abstract This part of BS 5385 gives recommendations for the design and installation of internal ceramic and natural stone wall tiling and mosaics in normal conditions. It deals with classes and types of background and their suitability to receive tiling using the following fixing methods, which are described in the relevant sections: a) bedding in cement-based adhesives on an intermediate substrate or as a direct bedding method; b) bedding in organic-based adhesives on an intermediate substrate or as a direct bedding method; c) bedding in cement: sand mortar on rendering or as a direct bedding method. Ceramic tile fittings for use at corners and edges are shown in Annex A. Where the tiling installation needs to meet specific functional or environmental requirements, or to assist in counteracting potentially detrimental effects on the installation and/or the structure, reference should be made to BS 5385-4. The specific conditions dealt with in BS 5385-4, for example, swimming pools, shower areas, etc. are listed in Annex B. Composite stone tiles are not included within the scope of this standard. Dimensionally similar to natural stone tiles, they possess different physical and chemical characteristics as a result of the various natural stone, mineral and binder constituents from which they are manufactured. The recommendations of the manufacturer or supplier for design and installation should be followed.
