Please give yourself around half a day of your time to read..

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.
S

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.

Pretty sure on some bags of grout it says along the lines of 'internal corners to be filled with Silicon'..
I've definitely seen it, but can't say which brand it was...

Mapei Ultracolour plus is one of many that do!!!
Oh, and Weber too!
Anybody care to phone their grout manufacturer to speak with their tech depth and get their opinion on it? I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you all what the answer will be from each and every one of them!?

That's what the grout manufacturers say, what do they know?
I've been doing it that way for 40 years & never had a problem!!
Same as a tiler I spoke to that's been tiling 25yrs & still uses PVA!!
Same as a tiler I heard ordering 6mm ply in CTD, it's only a small floor it will be ok!!
You get the jist, I could go on.

Tile to tile, you want to Silicon, so it's water tight (or as water tight as it can be anyway...) 😉
You've changed your tune lol

No, I have not changed my tune, grouting internal movement joints is completely wrong, even though others with lots of experience do it. First post quote was sarcasm, by grouting and silicon you are getting the worst of both world because your not getting any movement plus I doubt how aesthetically pleasing the Silicon would be over grout. Yes, a few weeks ago I grouted a movement joint as I knew I had no matching Silicon... Lock me up!!
Here you go Charlie, there must be a colour here for you

Personally i Silicon all internal corners.... If anything it means i don't have to be so precise with my cuts
My overall Silicon finish is only as good as my poorest cut!
I haven't used them Mark, I bookmarked it after someone on here said they used this product with good results. I was impressed with the colour options as you never know when you may require.
Here you go

There's a section at the bottom where they can match any RAL colour as well

Thats an impressive range! I knew they did a good neutral curing Silicon for stone use, but didn't realise they had such a colour range!?!
Haha Beanz, surely you only need white and clear as you don't silicon movement joints :sofahide:
