Glue baseboard to tile wall.

Baseboard trim adds visual interest and clean lines to a room while covering and sealing the gaps between walls and flooring. Baseboard trim installation differs depending on whether the floor has an existing covering or you plan to add carpet tile or wood after the trim molding. Strength of the adhesive should not be a major concern as any commercially available wall glue will be plenty strong enough to hold molding to the wall material. Many bathrooms and pool house designs call for ceramic tile on the floor and walls or a tile wainscot.

A tile baseboard can be used on its own on the wall particularly if. In humid climates. With some the design may include. Nails while not so much an adhesive in the traditional sense of the word standard carpenters nails are still an integral part of securing the molding to the wall.

Ceramic tile baseboards work well in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms or areas where floors get mopped frequently. That is why i suggest you use continuous sinusoidal beads of glue to the base of the wall making sure it will be covered by the baseboard. Attaching baseboard trim with glue rather than nailing it to the concrete substrate prevents the possibility of splitting or splintering the trim when driving fasteners into the concrete. However for pvc baseboard i like to apply the adhesive directly onto the wall because the baseboard molding is flexible and you can get it all over the floor when installing it.
