Finishing To The Ceiling? - TilersForums.com

[Flintstone]

What's your method? I have always cut tight to the ceiling and grouted. I've seen a few pics where it looks like some have siliconed to ceiling, who does that?

if ceiling is already painted I silicon if not decorators cork.

 

[On one]

A 1mm or 2mm grouted joint to a plastered ceiling,
Or 1mm or 2mm ungrouted joint to a plastic ceiling(Then siliconed)

Do you use the profile tool with caulk?

Do you use the profile tool with caulk?

sometimes, but normally just a wet finger

Don't use to much water with caulking filler, it'll just thin it out.

 

[Flintstone]

What about with dark tiles or cream grout etc?

 

[White Room]

Just be careful how much caulking you use, try to keep it tight in the joint....to much it'll spread everywhere.

Only ever grouted to the ceiling unless it's plastic, then I silicone. Wouldn't silicone to a painted ceiling unless insisted on by the customer.

I silicone to the ceiling if I don't like the customer!

(and smear too!)
