What colour grout was used for your tiles? Hey Ssjo, thanks. We chose natural grey grout colour to match the grey tiles. I would expect the silicone to be grey too..... @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4586Mar 17, 2017 6:10 pm Ssjo Hi, I have been watching for a while, you have a very nice house coming together.

If the grout was white then its fair enough. Unless the silicone default colour is white and you were not told you can change this colour. I do feel metricon aren't the best at telling you about all your choices. It look nice but a matching grout colour would make it a 10/10 ...sorry Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4588Mar 17, 2017 6:16 pm Ssjo I agree with you and you are the one paying to build the house.

I think light grey or dark grey is suitable?

I'd be asking for that to be changed too. Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4591Mar 17, 2017 6:22 pm The question that needs to be asked is ......can you look passed it or is it going to eat you up? If you can look past it - its silicone and it looks fine and does its job. Or you can ask to change it Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4592Mar 17, 2017 7:16 pm Thanks for the suggestions peeps. Unfortunately I am a perfectionist so everything has to be exactly as I designed. The silicone will have to be redone @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 4593Mar 17, 2017 7:38 pm Hey orph, your bathrooms are lovely and I probably wouldn't have noticed the silicone, but I think you'll be happier with a grey. The colour that my cabinet makers (I stress mine, not Coral's) put on my vanity and stone splash was a grey and matches so well, it's hardly noticeable. I can imagine if it was stark white, like you, I'd want it changed. It's those little things that make it special.
