How do you do yours?

[Slowly Learning]

Hi all,

When im wall tiling I always use a bead of silicone in the corner join instead of grout especially in shower areas for sealing and incase of slight movement. I use the same principal when wall tile meets floor tile. Would you use a bead of silicone where the floor tile gap meets skirting board/non tiled wall or would you just grout it? I know there are special movement strip beads available but Im looking for the correct bog standard technique.

Thanks in advance for you wisdom

Silicone all the way, on skirting board to tile it stops water getting to the wood when mopping the floor etc

A resounding yes to silicone it is then! Thanks to everybody who replied it gives me peace of mind that I am finshing my work correctly and not leaving myself open to a "why did you do it like that" moment.

They are classed as movement joints.. so yes..silicone

If it can be painted no because the paint won't adhere to the silicone otherwise yes
