10mm square brushed chrome onto worktop? - Tile Advice

[Martino]

Hi people I hate seeing grout/sealent onto a kitchen worktop has anyone got any idea's what else can be used...my first thought is tile trim if i opt for the square atleast it will marry up at any end where the tile trim goes vertical ....only down side it could collect dirt under it with there being a very small gap?

All comments are very much appreciated

I prefer using silicone. All colours available. Would never grout between tiles & worktop. There are many other options you could go with though. Depends on the finish your ideally wanting. Dedicated trim for this would be an Internal corner cove - Available white, black, cream & silver/grey. Only available in plastic though. Square tile trim would look fine but I would still run a bead of transparent silicone to stop all crumbs etc getting under.

Silicone for me, anything else will allow spillages to soak underneath.....

You must provide some protection between the worktop and tile, particularly behind the sink, to stop ingress of water which will cause the laminate to bubble if water gets under. You could always use clear if you didn't really want it to be that noticeable. I wouldn't personally use anything other than silicone.

the idea of silicone is 2 fold, stops water ingress into the work top and acts as an expansion joint for movement in the units / worktop against the tiles.
