ᐅ Baseboard Installation on Uneven Walls with Tiled Floors

Hi everyone,
We are finally approaching the installation of our kitchen. We have kept the existing floor covering (split board tiles) and applied plaster with a 2mm (0.08 inch) grain size on the walls (see picture). Since the walls are not all straight and the floor is uneven, we need a solution for the baseboards.
So far, I have found flexible baseboards for gluing, but we don’t like them. Since the baseboards are located in a heavily used passageway, we want a “nice” solution. Does anyone know a good alternative or a way to cover the transition between floor and wall?

As an alternative, the classic white baseboards (wood or similar), which you also use with parquet flooring.

Does this work with uneven walls and uneven floors? We have several spots in the house where the previous owner installed typical baseboards, and they either come loose from the wall or the acrylic/silicone joints are huge.

@"Kirschkugel":
Uneven wall surfaces and floor flatness deviations that exceed tolerance limits do not meet the standards of a "norm-compliant" base, and therefore do not represent the current state of the art required to properly install a trade-compliant (finishing) trade on top.
Either the substrate must be leveled, or one must accept that at least prefabricated components (such as base tiles or baseboards) cannot be used in these areas.
The issue of base elements detaching from wall surfaces is a completely different matter.
The cause(s) can be determined by examining the break zone and, if applicable, the break depth found behind the detached wall or base elements.
There is no standard solution for this particular problem area.

I wouldn’t know a solution here either. You just have to learn to live with the gaps. It’s the same throughout our house. You eventually stop noticing them 😎.

We actually used standard wooden baseboards and attached them with construction adhesive... it holds pretty well, and we filled the gaps with acrylic sealant, which worked nicely too. How it will hold up over time remains to be seen, but yes, you probably won’t notice it after a while.
