Title: Tiling around the worktop
Post by Lectrician on Mar 14^th, 2012, 4:41pm

When you tile above a worktop, is it usual to use a tile spacer between the worktop and tile, and grout this? Or do you sit the tile directly on the worktop and run a bead of silicon around?

just a gap, then sealant!!! allows for a bit of movement without making cracks appear!!
