Silicon Around Floor Edge?

[EViS]

Do you guys Silicon around the perimeter of a tiled bathroom floor or grout?

I would have thought Silicon is the best option in the same way that Silicon should be applied to all room corners so as to allow for building movement (i.e. grout would crack).

Yes Silicon to allow for movement as you say. Normally a 2mm joint

I do like all internal corners

Super fast reply fellas! Thanks.

Also, I always buy mid-price range Silicon (usually Unibond stuff at £4.50) from Screwfix. What do you guys get? The stuff ranges from £2 to £20...

grout cracks can mean leaks,
silicon and its sealed tight and provides room for movement

I like the mapei sealer from screwfix for the coloured grouts but use everbuild forever white for standard applications

I generally use Mapei (mapisil AC) Silicon it's nice to work with and I can get the exact colour match with Mapei grouts

Whichever Silicon you choose to use, just make sure it is "high modulus".
