Originally, we planned to nail the baseboards in place, preferably using a nail gun.
Now everyone is talking about these clip-on baseboards. Until now, we didn’t even know such a system existed. But the only real advantage of the clips seems to be that you don’t see any nails, and you can remove the baseboards without damage and reuse them, right?
And all these clip brackets have to be fixed to the wall with some kind of anchors, which I find quite expensive.
Do you also think this is overrated, or are the clips a genuine “hidden gem”? 🙂

but depending on how uneven the wall is, you need quite a few more, otherwise the trim pieces will stick out.
That's why this time I'll use adhesive.

but it’s a problem if the screed is still settling.
Then a gap will appear.

but I can replace the trim again.
I think if it’s glued on, it will be difficult to remove, or all the adhesive will stay on the wall.
