Hi

I am tiling a conservatory floor with porcelain tiles and the walls are unplastered face brick. Do I grout or silicon where the two materials join?

Thanks.

There should always be an expansion joint around any perimeter therefore I'd suggest both! Fill the gap with a rubber silicone then grout on top up to the brickwork. Leaving some grout for when it cracks.
I've filled it just with grout in the past and on settlement ( due to other factors) the grout pulled the glaze off the tile!

attention to brick, with silicone.
use neutral silicone or acrylic.
no acetyl.
brick, it absorbs, anointed.
