    Hi Ben, it's a personal choice, some would say they lay the floor first and some would say the wall first. Personally, I would lay the floor and have the bottom cut of the wall meet it, but kept a couple of mm's short for silcone.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah, I tile down the wall to a couple of mm from the floor tiles to have the expansion gap.
