Silicone colour

[Freyanne]

Hi - My wall tiles are white with white grout and my floor tiles a dark grey with mid grey grout. I will need to silicone the join between floor and wall tiles. My instinct says this will look better with grey silicone rather than white. What do you think? And if you agree with grey then where to get it? My tile shop only has white, ivory or translucent.

I would use grey.. Mapei do a mid grey one.. 113 is the code for it .. You can get it from Tile giant.. http://www.tilegiant.co.uk/tile-adhe...one-310ml.html

Definately Grey. Most tile shops should sell grey. If your local one doesnt then im sure the next shop will

[faithhealer]

a tile shop with only three colour silicons?

[Freyanne]

I know faithhealer - that's what I thought!!! The thing is I'm in Northern Ireland so don't have Tile Giant or Topps or the like. I'll try a few builders merchants tomorrow and see whether they have any. Thanks for the help - always good to know my instinct is right. :-)

Huh, the tile shop that supplied 70m2 of polished marble to a job this evening for me had NO silicon at all !!!! no excuse for this.
Just as well i carry mapesil

Where do you get it then, this member needs some..

[Freyanne]

Indeed Hillhead - I see you're in NI. Where do I get grey silicone or is that a trade secret?

[hillhead]

Northern Ireland is a big place Dave
I buy mine from Armatile, Armagh,Newry and Belfast shops so .........

[Freyanne]

Thank you Hillhead. I'm in Co Down - it was McCall's in Carryduff who I only had 3 colours. I work in Belfast so will drive round to Boucher Road and try the Armatile store. :-)

At last, like pulling teeth..

[hillhead]

No bother Freyanne, i hadn't noticed you were from near me.. sorry.
They will have the grey in there for sure, if James is there say hello to him from me.
So it's mapei mapesil grey your after, i gave a tube of grey away last week to a customer.
Good luck freyanne.

[Dave]

113 mapesil is the mid grey as well..

If you get stuck, and have a Wickes near you, they also do a mid grey silicon among other colours, always a good back up for me.

[Freyanne]

Thanks Ken - no Wickes in NI either I'm afraid - we're very hard done by here. Many thanks again Hillhead - I'll remember you to James if he's about. x

[Freyanne]

Hi guys - nearly finished!

Should I also silicone around the base of the vanity unit and toilet?

And if so should this be in the grey as well?

Hillhead no sign of any male staff in Armatile when I was there but the girls sorted me out with the silicone, thanks again.

[Freyanne]

Can anyone advise?

[Stewart]

I normally use clear for the base of toilets, sinks and units.
