I used a 12 x 12 peel and stick from HD that can be installed tight or with a grout line. I sealed my floor with a latex primer that gave it more of a semi gloss finish vs the porosity of bare wood. I have had a couple places where I had to use an adhesive to make it stick, mainly on stairs. My slide floor is covered in the black plastic type membrane so the edge was loose and irregular. I used adhesive on those pieces along with tape to hold them in place until they dried then installed the aluminum cap.
I like the idea of individually replaceable pieces if any are damaged. It's been in here 2 years and we love it. We are never in the worst temperature extremes so that may help. You probably already know that none of these products are recommended for our type of use but if I had to replace it every couple years, I'd do it before I would have carpet. We usually dont take our shoes off, just vac and wipe with damp paper towels now and then.
Primer is going on



Aluminum edge is on but 1/4 round isn't covering rollers yet
