RaceDeck question

[copterdoctor]

So, Im thinking about putting racedeck down in my garage, but I have a few questions..
here's a link to our floorplan.. we extended the back wall of the garage about 7 ft or so... the plan was customized by our builder, but, the garage is pretty much the same shape.. like I said, the backwall was extended..

my main concern is the prow of the house and how it would look using racedeck.. ie, lots of angles... how hard is this going to make the install?
am I going to run into really small pieces of the racedeck because of the prow?

I get back home in a few weeks, so I'll take the EXACT measurements then... seems like the plan shown isn't 100% accurate... but the general question about the prow of the house still applies...

The biggest problem I see is you will need to cut the angle along the door. Thus leaving no way to attach transition or trim pieces. You could lay it on diagonal but there looks to be alot of waste either way.

very good point.... and actually, though it may be more wasteful, I think I like the idea of having them diagonal... hmmm....
thanks for the response!!!

You planned garage looks very interesting. Not knowing what pattern ( if any) you are considering, I would say to start you installation from the back of the garage and move outward. When you get to the garage door entry, you can do a long even cut. You will not be able to use our standard edges one you cut the loops off, but we have a solution that we use on commercial applications. It is a long extruded ramp edge that runs along the floor and is fastened to the sub-floor. If you call us we can explain a bit better and show you. Trimming the modules themselves is very simple.

Thanks

something like this... had a buddy photoshop it for me...
but, like I feared, it looks difficult at the garage door opening...

Happy to hear Tammi took good care of you You should be able to play with the design to get it just the way you want and look right.
