|  New BSI regs for Sealing a Bath | |
Hi guys,
We should probably already know the answer to this (opps).
We were doing demo's in a Topps store yesterday when a guy came in and said that their was going to be a new British standard for sealing around a bath, he thought it would be a minimum joint size of 10mm regardless of the gap.
Does anyone know if this is true? Have you heard anything? Is it just talk?
Cheers
Andy
