Inside corner (wall/floor)

Hey all, wondering what standard practice is for where wall tile meets floor tile, does there need to be a larger gap to prevent cracking from wall expansion, or is it fine to use whatever grout spacing you're doing, and then use caulk instead of grout to fill below the bottom row of wall tile


Loving the forum it's been very helpful!

1\8" gap at the bottom works for us. We like to make sure silicone can get deep in there.

We generally space our tiles at 1\16".

You really need a minimum 1\16" for grout, but if there are any variations in the floor or dry pack etc, the 1\8 allows for some wiggle.
