When finishing off a fully-tiled bathroom, should I use a bead of silicone for these places:
* Internal corners
* Places where tiles meet door frames
* Window reveals
* Top of the wall, round the ceiling
* Bottom of the wall, where the tiles meet the floor
Is it acceptable to grout some of these areas? The window surround I will definitely use silicone for. Can I use acrylic builders caulk for some of these areas -- I have a spare tube knocking around.
The accepted wisdom is that grouting these areas will result in cracked grout as the tiles expand. But the old tiles were grouted where they met at internal corners and showed no such problems.
Thanks
Mike
