tiled bathroom, what's first, silicon or grout

[happyhero]

Hi, I have just tiled the bathroom what's first, silicon or grout?

I am guessing it is better to grout first so you do not have to worry about damaging the silicon, is this right?

I assume you just have to stop any of the grout getting in where you want to silicon, any tips on how a pro would do this?

Also where to silicon, I am thinking of the corner in the shower (no bath fitted) and top and bottom of walls ( tiles go up to ceiling), but what about window reveal? Would you still silicon where the verticals meet the horizontals or grout as it is not in a particularly wet area?

Any advice appreciated.

Grout.

Close enough.

Wipe it off before it dries.

Don't know what you mean by "not particularly wet". If it's a dry area, then grout the joints, otherwise use silicone.

Where the tiles meet the ceiling consider using decorators caulk.
