SILICON

Commonly, silicone is used in corners of tiled walls where the two walls meet as well as around floor edging, shower recess, vanity, and spa bath edging. Silicone provides a watertight seal in these areas which are exposed to a lot of water on a daily basis and stop the water from entering the wall and floor surface. Silicone also allows the flexibility to occur in cases where the walls experience slight movements over the years.

Every property will undergo some movement in the walls during its lifetime and the flexibility of silicone will allow for dis to occur without showing any signs of cracking along the joints. Older buildings might have grout used in these joints, however, even the slightest movement in the wall will show cracks along with them which can allow water to get inside and cause permanent damage to the structure.
