BS 4805:1989 PDF Download

Guidelines for measuring the size of rectangular textile floor coverings are provided by the BS 4805:1989 standard. The standard is applicable to floor coverings created by both hand and machine as long as their length to breadth ratio is under 5. The guideline does not, however, apply to tiles.

By establishing a uniform method for measuring rectangular floor coverings, the standard attempts to ensure uniformity between various producers and goods. The standard aids in precisely determining the dimensions of floor coverings, enabling proper fitting and installation, by outlining the measurement procedure. This will improve the floor covering's overall effectiveness and quality.

It is important to note that the standard excludes other materials, including tiles, and is focused solely on rectangular textile floor coverings. This shows that the standard recognizes the significance of rectangular textile floor coverings in the industry and addresses their special characteristics and issues.
