Silicone sealant

Post by brightspark29 »

Could anyone advise me if it would be okay to use a good quality silicone sealant instead of grout between the tiles in the bathroom. I saw a clip on youtube of a guy doing just that with silicone sealant and itlooked great, he used a fuggi silicone tool to do the job. I find that grout has a great tendancy to discolour over time. All comments welcome.

The sealant will also go mouldy over time.

Personally I'd stick with grout, easier to clean and definitely easier to apply. Longer working time than sealant and far less messy to apply.

By all means give it a go, it's your house after all.
