silicone

Can anyone recc a low modulus Silicon sealant for bathrooms? It seems that manufactures are reluctant to say what modulus their product is! Thanks

Do we Silicon corners of a fireplace? Any special Silicon? Or just grout? Would be grateful for advice.

Kitchen tiling around the window - (first time using tile trim) I have cut the tiles and done my best to make the cuts neat and even - but as you can see from the pics the gap is uneven. Can I make this neat / cover with grout or Silicon? Or do the cuts need to be re done?? Any advice...

Hi there, I've had a lot of help from you guys with regards to a large amount of pinholes in my newly installed bathroom grout - thank you. Today, I've noticed another problem that I would like to understand better and I would appreciate your input. I have noticed that the grout directly above...

Hi guys my name is Lauren, I really need some hard to get advice and my tiling experience is limited. The floor in my grandmother's shower in an old second story bathroom is a bit flexible and the sealant has worn out around the shower floor on the inside. I'm hoping to seal that back up quickly...

The grout in my shower is constantly needing mould & mildew treatment, and is generally looking tired. I am considering removing and replacing any damaged sections of grout, then applying Silicon over all the grout lines to seal them. Is this ok to do? Very grateful for any advice.

I finished tiling my bathroom and used BAL Silicon matching the grout along the 4mm gap between the tiles and bathtub, I used a Fugi tool with 90 degree edge as I thought it looked nicer and was easier to tool than using the curved edge. Is this a bad idea, I assume water will sit closely along...

Do I need to Silicon the corners of the shower from the tray to the ceiling or will grout be enough? Is there an industry standard in the UK? Thanks in advance for any response 👍

Hi, hope this is in the right place as I’m not a regular user of forums. I run a mastic company in the south east. I need to find a match for ardex dove grey. I know ardex provide their own sealant but it’s 3x the price of the products I normally get from my supplier have already had to reduce...

I'm surprised to find that i mapei dont seem to do a charcoal Silicon (for interior corners) to match their charcoal grout... anyone know of a good colour match? Should i stick with mapei Silicon and chose the next best colour, or chose another brand that does charcoal which will still be a...

Hi All I have a walk in shower room in my bathroom that is tiled using slate mosaics on the floor and nuance shower boards on the walls. Originally I used the MS Polymer jointing compound a the floor to wall junction about 4 years ago when I built it. There is no appreciable movement in the...

I have a custom 1/2 tempered glass splash guard 59 long by 64 tall. I plan on attaching it to the wall with 3 clamps and only Silicon to attach to the heated floor. No cross member to steady the free corner of the panel. I realize it's probably not ideal to do this however I'm looking for the...

Bath tiles. Grout, Silicon or both? A few years ago we had our bathroom done and where the bath met the tiles, grout was used with Silicon on top. This is coming away in places and has become mouldy. I’ve cleaned it out with the intention of repeating the process, however the grout I’ve used...

Hello All For good or bad (probably bad as its not a common choice) we're planning to tile around the top of the kitchen worktop. Worktop is dead level so plan to leave a 2 or 3 mm expansion gap and Silicon that. The issue is the top of the tiled upstand. The tiles are black ceramic with raw...

Dear all, as a homeowner, I have had to hack off a glass tile which is backpainted from a wet room. It seems that the tile was pressed into a cement like glue as there are no visible trowel lines and it was really difficult to remove the remains of the old tile without hitting it very hard in...

Hi all, I’ve been having a few issues of late with trying to get a good, smooth finish from coloured Silicon. Have been trying different brands and so far mixed results. I have been using Ardex Silicon for a while, good colour range, but recently product seem very thick and not the easiest...

Hi all I'm aware that I should be Silicon-ing in the corner of my fully tiled (wet) room. The corners will be butt joints, as in I will tile one wall (with some margin for error) and then tile the other one up to it with a neat gap for Silicon. 1) What gap is recommended large enough for...

I have tiled down a wall to a kitchen worktop and want to Silicon the join where the cut tile meets the worktop surface. I laid a bead of Silicon and used a Fugi Kit with the "bridge" but still get indentations at the grout join between tiles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After some 18 months much of the the Silicon has let go from where my cut tiles meet the shower tray. From what I have gleaned from this forum I am beginning to suspect that the professional tiler did not seal the cut edges of the tiles before applying Silicon... I have cut out the old...

I'm tiling an en-suite shower (it has one of those bog-standard heavy cast-concrete (?) and enamel bases if that makes a difference). I am not an experienced tiler, so I'm doing my learning. Looking on the YouTubes, nobody seems to be using that concave shower tray trim anymore, (that would go...
