    TTA and British Standards.

    I emailed the TTA regarding a tile supplied by a TTA registered retailer, although this "issue" is common for many tiles and relates to nominal sizing. The nominal size is only a guideline. Size "in name only" for identification purposes. The size a tile is advertised as, but due to calibres...
