Covering edge gap for RaceDeck, etc.

[Jer]

Hi everyone! I am wondering what the best way to cover the gap around the edges of plastic tile flooring. From what I gather, you should leave room for expansion around the edges. I already have 3/4" thick baseboard around the perimeter of the garage. Add another moulding? Remove/reinstall baseboard (I really don't want to do this!)? Paint exposed concrete to match? Install tiles tight to the edge? I'd love to see pics of your solutions! I've searched everywhere, but can never find pics of the edges. This site is fun. Thanks!

I did nothing, its all covered by tools and workbench and other junk. The one visible spot which is about 5ft. wide to a garage addition, I bought it up against the concrete wall and never had any issues.

There are several options to cover the gaps. I would recommend using a mold that has a transition lip or what I did in my garage is use standard 1/2" wood strips all around ( painted to match the wall).
If you want a really cool look, we have aluminum diamond plate cove base molding where the edge kicks out over 1/2"

IN YOUR CASE - an easy fix would be to use a small wood strip 1"x1"x length? and adhere to your current molding, then paint to match. The ideal solution would be to remove the molding, and add flooring bringing it to 1/2" from the edge of the wall , then do one of the option in the first paragraph.
