Hello,

we recently visited a tile studio and saw a laying technique without skirting boards or profiles.

At the wall edge, the tiles simply stopped, it looked as if there was no additional finish at all.
With a 90-degree installation, the upper horizontal tile was simply placed flush on the lower tile, of course you can see the edge on the upper tile, but it did not look worse than with skirting board or Jolly cut, etc.

Does anyone know if this laying technique has any disadvantages or if the technique has a special name?
I could imagine that the edges are more prone to damage upon contact than skirting boards.

So either I don’t understand it or...

Tiles simply have a tile baseboard or do you mean flush baseboards?

Do you have a picture?

I don’t quite understand it either and guess that he means something we have done by default without thinking: with wall tiles, don’t put sliding pieces on top, but just stop with the tile as it is?

It was grouted for us and is a bit inconvenient to clean, but otherwise I can’t think of any disadvantages *ponder*

So we have it exactly the same. Tile over tile at a 90-degree angle. Everything is wonderful and I like it better than with a rail ...

Yes exactly! Just stop as it is! I would have thought that this finish is a bit more delicate but it seems to work well! What does "angefugt" mean?

What is a tile baseboard? You have to make that (from other tiles, for example?) and then attach it with glue? I meant that the tile just stops. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture, but I can take one next time I'm at the tile studio.
