Silicon around bathroom floor

[DIYMARK]

I am thinking it would give a nice neat edge to Silicon around the edge of my bathroom floor.
Is this advisable, or should I stay with grout?

What's the bathroom floor going against, tiles or skirting?

Tiles.

It's a big matter of opinion mark, some say Silicon and some say grout. Go have a look at the other thread posted by Stef and you will see a lot of argument for and against the two options

Silicon and I am not budging :hurray:

Red mastic , proper stuff mixed with linseed oil, use a inch fingertrowel , job sorted

Or you could double pack with grout and Silicon... Best of both world then.... Or is it the worst lol

Tiles.

Mark we are having a bit of a giggle because of another thread.
That has to be siliconed as it's classified as a movement joint, all internal corners must be siliconed because of movement.

 

[DIYMARK]

aaah! So do you mean all internal corners on that particular job, or all internal corners?

All internal corners are classified as movement joints whether it's tiling purposes or not.
That's why you will have tapers doing internal corner tapes.
It is 2 different surfaces so must be treated that way, that's the purpose of the Silicon.
