Hello,
we recently visited a tile showroom and saw a tiling method that doesn’t use trims or profiles.
At the wall edges, the tiles simply stopped, giving the impression that there was no additional finishing element at all. In a 90-degree layout, the top horizontal tile was placed flush against the lower tile. Of course, you could see the edge of the top tile, but it didn’t look worse than having a trim or a Jolly edge, for example.
Does anyone know if this tiling method has any disadvantages or if it has a specific name? I could imagine that the edges might be more prone to damage on contact compared to trims.

I don’t quite understand it either and guess that he means something we usually do by default without thinking: not to install a trim piece on top of wall tiles, but simply to stop with the tile as it is?
In our case, it was still grouted and is a bit tricky to clean, but other than that, I can’t think of any disadvantages *thinking*

In our case, grout was applied afterwards, which makes cleaning a bit tricky, but otherwise I can’t think of any drawbacks *pondering*Exactly! Just finish as it is! I would have thought this kind of finish would be more delicate, but it seems to work well! What does "angefugt" mean?tomtom79 schrieb:

Tiles usually have a tile baseboard or do you mean flush baseboards?
Do you have a picture?What exactly is a tile baseboard? You have to create it yourself (from other tiles, for example) and then install it with adhesive? I meant that the tile simply stops. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture, but I can take one next time I’m at the tile showroom.Similar topics
