Hi all

Im curently constructing a new patio at home using porcelain tlies , the tiles are 1000x500 with 5mm joints , they’re a white / very light grey colour .

I’m toying with the idea of using Silicon in all the joints as apposed to grout , I’m a dab hand with a mastic gun & could get a very neat finishing using it instead of grout .

Has anyone used this method , I’m just thinking grout might be messy and will stain / mark my tiles ?
