Grout or Sealant?

[Stuart3br]

Hi, I'm a "capable DIY-er" and have recently completed a major house extension (with help!). Now I'm tiling and fitting out an en-suite and main bathroom.
I have a question about how to finish tiles against a shower tray (resin+acrylic capped). Complication is I've used "Link Removed" which creates a seal around tray to Aquapanel backing boards. This seal has a 1cm lip that adheres to the top of the tray all round, and so the gap between bottom row of tiles and the tray is actually to this lip rather than the tray material itself. So would you use grout or silicon sealant in that final gap? Advice welcome.

:welcome:...the link was removed as you are a newcomer...this is to help prevent spamming....

As mentioned above, expansion area's should be siliconed.

White silicon it is then! Yes I had read product instructions but they were a bit ambiguous I thought, so best I ask the experts. Appreciate the fast response, work proceeds tomorrow.

Happy New Year to all.
