Hi Everyone!
When installing bullnose as baseboards, do you just set the bullnose right on top of the floor tiles, then just run a bead of grout along the tiny joint where they meet, or do you use spacers, lifting the bullnose off the floor tiles, and then fill the joint with grout?
Thanks!
Karen

Leave a gap between the tile and the base tiles of 1/16" to 1/8". Yes you can use spacers here. Use a color matched caulk in the gap. Grout will crack and fall out of the joint.
