Hello,
our tile supplier asked us whether we prefer ready-made baseboards or if we would rather order a few extra tiles and have the tiler cut the baseboards themselves.
We were a bit unsure and didn’t really know what to decide, especially since there was no sample piece available.
The tiles are 20x120 cm (8x48 inches) with a wood look.
Advantage of ready-made baseboards: rounded edges with wood appearance.
Disadvantage: somewhat more expensive.
With cut baseboards, the tile edge would be visible, but this hardly stands out (similar color tone).
What do you think? Would you regret giving up the rounded edges?

I don’t see why that wouldn’t look good. Otherwise, you would have a joint every 20cm (8 inches), which you could avoid.I have to say, I never noticed that before. We have rectangular ones ourselves, and the skirting board joints align flush with the floor joint.
And when I search online, I mostly see pictures without skirting boards, or with white-painted ones...
Yes, that is the usual approach, including using a length of around 1.20 meters (4 feet) on the short side. Since these tiles are installed in a random pattern anyway, it doesn’t look odd. It would actually look worse to have only 20 centimeters (8 inches) of leftover length on one side. Skip the baseboards and use more floor tiles accordingly.

immermehr16 Dec 2020 20:49I am also facing this decision. I have wood-look tiles measuring 30x120cm (12x47 inches).
For about 60 linear meters (197 linear feet), baseboard tiles (unfortunately only available in the size 7x60cm / 3x24 inches) cost around 700€.
The material cost for the 30x120cm (12x47 inches) tiles is approximately 120€.
Does anyone have experience with the costs for a "rounded" cut? (Per tile --> 4 cuts).
I understand it depends on the location, but I wanted to get an estimate.
THANK YOU.

Does anyone have experience with the cost of a "rounded" cut? (Per tile --> 4 cuts).Otherwise, just take more tiles and cut two baseboards of 5cm (2 inches) each from every tile. These will have perfect edges. I’m not familiar with a rounded cut. I also wouldn’t know how that would work or look on porcelain stoneware.
