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.

Here is another example without corner profile:But in this case, you also have the special situation of a freestanding wall with mosaic tiles. It works here without a track as well.P.S. Is it intentional that every single mosaic sheet is visible? I don’t find it very attractive or well-tiled.

I can’t tell from the picture whether the glaze extends all the way around. I’m referring to corner tiles that have a rounded edge with the glaze wrapping around the curve. These have been around for over 100 years.
Try searching for "tw-edge tile" — that’s what I mean.Yes, they are. Not perfectly uniform, but that actually makes it look more interesting. I also looked at the ones you mentioned. Very nice, but obviously intended for a slightly different application. Here’s another picture from our large bathroom.
