This is the answer to the question How reliable is tile installation without rails?
Revision 1
I think what you mean is that the edges that protrude into the room (e.g., front wall, window jamb, shower wall) are not equipped with moldings, are they?
I'm not a fan of baseboards either and would like to do without them. But our tiler advised us against it. 1. sensitivity, 2. the edges have to be trimmed and positioned very precisely to make everything look perfect. He also said it might look "cheap."
I was hoping for a fun strip in the right color, but unfortunately, it wasn't available. So we had to use stainless steel. But I have to say, it bothers me a lot less than I first thought. It looks somehow quite normal, and now I can't imagine it any other way.
The baseboards were also just finished in acrylic.
