26、hannels are given in Annex A.NOTE Where the floor tiling installation needs to meet specific functional orenvironmental requirements, or to assist in counteracting potentially detrimentaleffects on the installation and/or the structure, see BS 5385-4.The special conditions described in BS 5385-4, fo
