H all iv recently re tiled the whole of my bathroom floor and wall. Iv now noticed that the grout has started to crack where the floor meets the wall.
I put 6mm no more ply down onto the boards followed by a flexible rapid set adhesive with porcelain tiles.
Does anyone know why this coud be cracking the grout inbetween the tiles is good just on the edge.
many thanks

I allways Silicon floor/wall joints, there allways seems to be movement and as you have proven cracking happens...
 
Hi.. The floor to wall transition is classed as an expansion joint , hence as above it should be siliconed to allow movement..
 
Thank you for your advice, this was my first every attempt hence not knowing something as simple as that!
Thank you
