Tiling down to shower tray...

Post by blakes »

Going from an earlier post which made me aware of tile 'movement' am I right in assuming that when tiling down to the shower tray, the tiles don't want to be in contact with the tray i.e sit them on a 3mm spacer and then when I've finished, use silicone to seal?

Thanks in advance.
