Colour of sealent? With pics

[simon_m]

Hi all, finished off the tilling in the kitchen and it looks very good. I grouted down to the worktop and this looked really neat so didn't bother with sealing. The grout between the worktop and tiles is now cracking in a few places so I guess I will have to seal around the worktop. The tiles I used are black and the grout is grey, what colour sealent would you use black or clear?

I'd use Dow Corning 785 in Manhattan Grey. http://www.geocel.co.uk/product.aspx?id=2&pr=dc7s
That's what I used in my kitchen when I used grey grout. Looks great.
Your tiling looks good but it would look much better if you changed those plastic sockets and switches over to brushed stainless.

Cheers gcol. Any idea where I would get a 4 way grid switch in brushed stainless?

I'm not sure I've heard the term "grid switch" before but BnQ have a good range of stainless switches at reasonable prices.

This is a grid system http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Wiring_Accessories_Menu_Index/Grid_System/

In our kitchen it is used to isolate the dishwasher/tumble drier/washer and cooker hood. All appliances are integrated so it would be impossible to get to the socket quickley should something go wrong.

The site I have linked to has aluminium faces but as far as I can see the switches only come in white, which would probably look odd.

Brushed chrome, aluminium, whatever you prefer. They look fine with white switches.
