I'm definitely missing something here.
Point me in the direction of a sanitary Silicon in Anthracite please if it's on there because I can't see it.
Thanks John.
My mistake select your colour and how many from this page

No but think I may start.
I know there a good make and do ones suitable for stone.
Normally have to order the stone ones from CTD, expensive and poor colour choice from mapei.
You?

Just used the black around those walk on glass panels!

Loads of choice for stone as you say, they've never failed me on delivery either, normally get them sent to the job I'm working on. I generally bring an off-cut of tile home and match it to the colour on screen and they are always spot on

That's a great website John, many thanks for that.
That should clear this thread up, no need to ever grout corners again ever
Happy Days.

The thread needs finding where someone askedwho grouted corners before they siliconed , i think @Bri made it, im sure it was 50/50.
No one has pulled my chain marc , hence the smily faces 😉
I just don't see the problem ,if a wall is going to move that much , Silicon will not stop opening up .
I do like a friendly debate with all the elitists though, it makes my weeks sometimes 🙂

Does this no grout apply between ceiling and walls or is it just in between tiles ?
S

Not if you use a good, flexible grout no matey. I only use BAL microflex, and haven't ever had any issues with cracks between wall and ceiling.

I don't remember doing a thread about Silicon/grout in corners, I've definitely stated that I don't Silicon up to ceilings skirting so or architraves. I'm like you mate, I do what I believe to be right on the job I'm on, I am a bit of a stickler for Silicon only in corners but, never in my life have I siliconed to a skirting board (unless it's a tiled skirting) or used anything other than grout up to ceilings. I do Silicon around window reveals and I know a lot don't.
I always run a bead of decorators caulk around ceiling so it can be painted and you get a nice sharp line around the ceiling
S
StevieBoy
I do if the chosen grout is anything other than white.
Grey wall grout around the top going to a white ceiling somehow just doesn't look right.
Doesn't matter what colour the tile or grout is to me, always use white caulk as 99.99% of ceiling are white
Mmmmm i do remember a thread on it, could of been on the other forum, my memory is not my greatest asset 😉
@3fall ofcoarse im calling you elitist
Im joking mate, im just on the wind up, i was hoping a few more elitists would of bit really
Maybe there's no elitists on here Craig, just your perception that they think they are 🙄

So thought I'd bring this back to life for a moment!😀 @widler, 😉
Preping a shower room today and I had to remove Silicon from corners of a shower.
.......and what do I find! Low and behold.......someone has put Silicon over the grout!!!
Not saying I told u so but .......... Haha
Silicon over grout in corners is just wrong!

I take it these are the bathrooms that are failing marc ?
Bad floors, bad prep bad walls bad prep all in all a crap job.
I can show you hundreds of shower rooms , mine included , which is used 3/4 times a day for nigh on ten years, no leaks apart from the crap shower screen.
I can show you showers ive never tanked which are fine, mine included , i can show you pebbledashing/rendering which i used loads of pva on which are solid after 30 years , no cracks no blow offs, i can show you women i have slept with who .... Hang on, off topic 😉
All im saying is if its prepped right and the job is done right some things are just over kill
Ps you can say i told you so all you want, mine aint failed , ever my man, and ive filled ever corner ive ever tiled 🙂

I knew u'd bite mate!😉
I've had a difficult day! What am I supposed to do! Hehe
No hard feelings mate. Just a giggle. Well for me!
Is that selfish? Haha

I think also it depends on the Silicon being used. Bath and Sanitary is what's needed, but I know for a fact some plumbers use the cheap general purpose Silicon which does not adhere to the tiles - maybe that's what was used in your pics Marc who knows ?
Incidentally, I can't remember the last time I tiled a shower cubicle that was tanked.
It's true, some things are overkill.

Yes all true.
My point has only ever been that u use Silicon only in the corners because these corners are prone to cracking because of movement, thus becoming natural expansion joints, therefore it's best to completely fill void with Silicon and not grout!
Just that and no more. 🙂

Each tiled surface should be independant. Top bottom and sides etc.. All you've got ta do is run a scraper around after the first or second wash, it's not that much of a chore. What you guys are missing here is that silicon doesn't bond to grout very well, If you ever re silicon a bathroom you'll spend ages scraping it clean, if it's been done over grout it peels off with ease. Yes, I'm sure people get away with it as do people that grout corners and never have any problems.
Why chance it?
