hi,

Im a tile newbie and have just tiled our kitchen floor in brazilian black riven slate. it looks lovely, however, i was wondering what is the best way to fill the gaps between the tiles and the walls? Obviously inbetween the tiles we have grouted, so we use grout in the spaces between tiles and walls, or do we use a sealant? We have used a flexi grout, will this be sufficient enough, i cant seem to find any info on it anywhere, but i apologise if its a really obvious answer!

Thanks

Sarah

Do you have skirting ?

Yes we have skirting boards, we're not quite advanced enough diy'ers to have taken them off!

sillicone to the skirting mapei do a wide range of colours to match your grout

Then a silcone joint is best. I must say though that skirting is far easier to remove and replace than tiling with Slate IMO.

ha, never mind, eh. next time we'l try taking off the skirting boards! sealant it is then, thanks guys!
