Finishing up phase 1 of finishing the garage (the tape and spackel came

easier to
clean, and stop those tiny little parts from falling and hiding under
the wall. I think it would be nice, but would it defeat the purpose of
the pressure treated floor plate on the concrete floor?

I happen to have plenty of 1 x 4 that is warped a bit but still ok to
use for molding so cost isn't much.

Then there is stuff made just for garage floors, fake diamond plate and
other stuff but that runs from $2 to $4/linear foot. And I think that
stuff is all plastic and sticks onto the wall.

Ideas?

Think water damage if there is a chance of leaks damaging the trim. I
can easily put trim in my garage, because it would be about four
inches above the garage floor. I've put trim in garages, but not when
the wall directly meets the garage floor.


I think I would use the stuff that is used in industrial environments,
heavy vinyl stuff that is glued in place (usually over a vinyl tiled
floor.) especially if you have drywall walls. Eventually you're going to
want to clean the floor with a hose, and you want to protect the wall
from water, not provide something else to absorb it.

something like this

I forgot about that "stuff". It was everywhere on the ground floor of
where I grew up. The price is reasonable too.

forgot to add, I'd be tempted to caulk along the bottom of it, just for
insurance.

Also, *before* you put it down would be the best time to do an epoxy
floor coating, if you are into such things and haven't done so already.
