    Default Silicone this bit or leave it?

    Finished the tiling and grouting and the wooden strip has been removed, just wondering if I should put some white or black silicone under the tiles?

    There's the black beading on the top but I didn't put it along the bottom.

    Should I just leave it alone? What would you guys do?

    Cheers.

    If that area is for the free standing cooker to be pushed into, I'd put another row of tiles down so it looks as though you've gone down to the skirting/ or tile down to the skirting.
    Or you can leave it as it is, no need for silicone.

    A fridge/freezer is going there.

    I'll just leave it, the row of tiles is the same around the kitchen.

    Thanks

    Ah so the trick is only make it look like its been done properly?

    I'd tile all the way down the the skirting.
