    Silicon tray and corners

    Is it good practice that you always run a bead of Silicon up the vertical corners and around the shower tray. We are installing a tiled marmox showerlay tray and the wife would like the corners grouted as she says the Silicon just ends up going mouldy in time. Thanks for the replies
