Best way to tile to floor when fitting lino?

[juux]

I'm fully tiling my bathroom and am fitting lino to the floor. I was wondering which way is best to manage the joint between wall and floor:

a) tile to floor then butt lino up to tile, or
b) leave larger gap at floor then slide lino underneath tile edge

In both cases I'll obviously run a bead of silicone round the joint to seal and cover any slight gap that's left.

The room has a floating floor onto which I've screwed 12mm ply down at 300mm centres to stiffen it somewhat.

Any advice appreciated.

It's quite difficult to get a dead level cut edge on a row of tiles, so your gap may look uneven. I think you'll find it easier to hide the gap if you tile to the floor and butt the lino against the tile.

I've been searching the forums about the same problem - vinyl floor and tiles on wall.

I was inclined the other way - if you put vinyl down under the tile edge, then it would hold the vinyl flat and stop it curling over time. And a silicone bead over the tile should hide any rough edge.

However I've not done it yet so certainly not an expert! What do others think?

normally i would leave skirting on when not tiling the floor gives a nice straight edge for the lino

Ah - that's another thought. I'd thought that we wouldn't skirt so you have a completely water resistant edge.

The same question then - would you put skirting over the lino to hold it down, or lino up to the skirting edge?

Skirting first, then lino stuffed under.
