grout or silicone here?

[Martino]

Hi guys ive just finished fitting my own kitchen. We have decided to go for upstands and i have siliconed these to the worktops with clear silicone. We are going to tile off the upstands. My question is as no water will go here is it best to silicone or grout the gap between upstand and tile or just grout?...

Silicone, there will still be a bit of movement, grout will crack out eventually IMO.

I would take the Upstands off & tile from the worktop.

Personally dont like upstands then tiles coming off them.

But Silicone none the less..
