Hi,
I've finally finished tiling an alcove (I'm a very part-time DIYer) and intend to do the grouting at the weekend. However, I've see threads in these forum which mention silicone sealant being used on internal corners. As this is going to be a toilet rather than a shower/wet room would you still recommend silicone in the corners?
Also, there is no skirting so I need a neat finish between wall and floor tiles. Again, is silicone the best bet? I imagine the answer here is yes because there would be water on the floor while cleaning the tiled floor but I thought I would ask the experts anyway.
If I need to go down the silicone sealant route do I grout, avoiding the corner joints and then use silicone, or do I use the silicone in the corners first and then grout the rest? My instinct is to go for the first method in case I contaminate my silicone joints while grouting.
Walls are done with white 6" square ceramic tiles and floor uses light oak 12" square ceramics.
Any advice welcome, thank you
