ceramic tile border on wall
Just laid ceramic tile on floor of bath and ready to put up 2 1/2 inch tile border on wall around perimeter. Is it best to stagger grout lines or match them up to floor. Or is it a matter of preference ?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Aligning grout lines
Most forum posters report that staggering grout lines between walls and floors tends to hide many sins. It is of course a matter of personal preference.

Finished grout today-looks good thanx to this site ! One question though: If you use a sealer on the whole floor , does that replace sealing grout lines as well. Is it preferred to seal whole floor as opposed to just grout lines ? Do you wait same amount of time to seal whole floor as you do before sealing grout lines?
O.k. three questions.
Thanx again, Bill

Sealing grout
Glazed ceramic tile does not need sealing. The glaze, which is kiln fired at a very hight temperature, seals the tile. The grout is however porous and tends to absorb oils, soils, and stains.
