    Default Sloping flat tile

    Hi all, I am tiling my bathroom from floor to ceiling. I have a window reveal situated alongside my bath, which will have a shower over it. When tiling this reveal, does it sound sensible to slightly slope the horizontal tiles downwards to prevent water collecting ?. If this is the case how can you ensure a waterproof joint between the tile edge and trim ?. Maybe a small bit of silicon between trim and tile ?. Thanks in advance.
