Tiles over the kitchen worktop. - TilersForums.com

Hooray at last my kitchen is fitted and I can T*I*L*E to my heart's content dans le cuisine!!!

I'll start at worktop level and work up - my fitter has put a bead of silicone around the edge that the tiles will hide.

Should the tiles sit flush to the worktop or should I insert a spacer between the worktop and the tile above it? If not flush then why not?

Some people use spacers, I use Rubi wedges but you need to lift the tiles off the worktop slightly. It allows a better seal when you silicone

I heard yesterday that Dow Corning is a great sealant. Do you agree and will it stay mould free? xx

Personally I like the dow silicone as it's fairly easy to use

And yes it should do

Dow 785 is the one you want
