I have a 45 degree wall butting up to two straight walls. The 45 degree angle is only 50cm long. I am tiling with rectangular metro style tiles in a brick pattern. Should there be a visible joint which is either siliconed or grouted? - or should the tiles butt up to avoid a vertical gap?

Thanks, so you have to have a grout gap? It is a palsterboard wall. Can you bevel the tiles and but straight up to maintain the brick pattern?

you could butt up mate but its not the correct way unless you you still leave a 2mm gap, plasterboard walls can move with heat, thats why ya need a gap and silicone, grout would / could crack away from it, no gap and you could end up having chipped edges on ya tiles
