Hello everyone,
What did you do first? Tiling or applying the fine/top plaster?
My approach: Advantage of tiling first is that I expect a nicer finish when plastering afterwards around the baseboards to get a better fit.
Advantage of applying the top plaster first: well,... the plasterers can’t cause as much damage since they have to work on scaffolding due to the room height. Less dust overall as well.
I’m curious to hear your opinions! :-)

If the tiling is not floor-to-ceiling, first tile the wall and then level the plaster to the tile thickness. That’s how I do it—it simply looks better. Tiles are durable. If you’re worried, you can mask them off. However, as far as I know, these are expensive additional services.
The standard approach, with no judgment, is plaster first and then tiles. I can’t imagine if my beautiful glass tiles had gotten plaster from the rough construction work.
It is normal for the tile to protrude slightly beyond the plaster, and that is why they place the stainless steel trim (Niroleiste) on top to make it look neat. The baseboard tile at the floor also protrudes slightly.
Special constructions are special constructions with special prices and should not be presented here as standard.

In our case, the tiling was done first, followed by plastering. The plasterer was absolutely excellent and carefully masked everything perfectly, which of course was charged by the hour. However, it was definitely worth the money. There wasn't a single defect in the tiles, and the advantage was that the plasterer was able to neatly plaster the baseboards afterward. That’s exactly what I meant. Could you please share a photo? Thank you very much 🙂
PS: I didn’t say I wanted standard solutions; rather, I presented both options for discussion.

And the fact is, one of the options comes with a significant additional cost. It’s comparable to asking: should one go with an affordable 16sqm (170 sq ft) living room or should one go for 40sqm (430 sq ft) instead? What you ultimately want is entirely up to you.N

PS: I wasn’t asking for standard solutions but rather presented these two options for discussion.In that case, it should be consistently done throughout the house. Tiles and plaster flush = baseboards and plaster flush = interior doors and plaster flush. Otherwise, you mix styles and it might stand out in a negative way.

I find this chrome trim look somewhat Sixties vintage retro, and I could imagine that over time this style might appeal to other taste groups as well. After all, glass blocks were once considered stylish, as was terracotta.
