Conservatory expansion gap

[NW tiler]

Got a conservatory floor to do next week. The customer wants to leave the brick walls exposed as a "feature" therefore there will be no skirting board to hide the expansion gap under.

Was thinking about siliconing around the edges but it won't look right.

Any ideas?:huh2:

how big is the conservatory ?

3m by 3m, two doors.

i would mask round the bottum of the wall with tape before you grout as to keep walls clean if the floor is concrete then grout as normal if it is wood then silicone would be better as you can get a good range of colours to match

Its a concrete floor.

Good tip on the masking tape.

Grout around the walls and silicone up against the plastic doors.........as long as the tiles aren't cut tight to the walls you will be fine.......

Carefully grout up against the walls................when sponging off..........1 wipe then rinse to avoid staining the brickwork.....it will take in some water from ya sponge, but that drys

Try scribing around each brick

Did you scribe that with an Axe..?....:lol:............nice scribing....
