Is it a must to have skirting for flooring?

To me is it not a must to have skirting finish for flooring but in Singapore, you can find most HDB and ever landed or condominium houses have skirting for their flooring for living and bedrooms.

The common practice is to finish off with tiles or wooden skirting when come to end of the walls but ask yourself  this, does it necessary to have skirting for the floor end finish or do it look better to finish off without skirting.

i ever probe the question to my tiler,  the answer from them was “if the walls happen to be not straight and sometime turn out to be  convex or concave. what you see on the floor finish without skirting is that the last pieces of tiles along the wall will not have a straight line and it will turn out to be very ugly.”

As for wooden flooring normally they need to leave a bit of gap for expansion so if the wooden flooring without the skirting its will look awful.

I might be wrong so whoever have a better answer to the question please help ..

Appreciate and thanks you!
