This code of practice gives recommendations on basic workmanship on building sites for tasks which are frequently carried out in relation to tiling of natural stone tiles to walls and floors. The stones are granite, marble, travertine, slate, quartzite, limestone and sandstone in sizes up to 0.3 m2 in superficial area and up to 40 mm thick for floors and up to 12 mm thick for walls. The code of practice does not cover recommendations for fixing natural stone tiles to timber backgrounds. The fixing of ceramic tiles, mosaics and terrazzo floor tiles is covered in BS 8000. Design aspects of wall and floor tiling are given in BS 5385.
