Gap between tiling floor and UPVC frame - what can I fill this with?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.54 PM
I've bought some fix and grout but don't want to use it without advice first. Would a silicone or caulk be a better alternative? The gap is 1cm at most.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Maybe a white silicone would be best,cut the nozzle fairly small on the end of the mastic tube.Get a small bowl,put some fairy liquid in the bowl,run the mastic along the gap,then lightly run your finger along the mastic that’s been dipped in the water/fairy liquid to stop the silicone sticking to you

Hi .
Here you can't use grout.
The best way is silicone or strip on the top.
