    Tilers who grout down to kitchen worktop

    I see loads of new kitchens where the tiler has just grouted down to the worktop and not used Silicon, of course leading to it all cracking out. Even where the tiling is spot on and the kitchen is high end I still see it. Am I missing something here? why do so many not use Silicon? :30:
