• Start by calculating the center of the room. Install tiles from the center working out towards the walls, using a rubber mallet or engineering hammer to connect the tiles.
  • The tiles can be easily cut with a sharp utility knife, or jigsaw. For best results especially in large installations the use of a band-saw is recommended.
  • Once all the full tiles have been installed then proceed with the trimmed tiles. A space of 1/4” (6mm) expansion gap should be left at the walls and any other obstacles such as pillars and extremely heavy equipment.
  • If required the expansion gap can be filled with a flexible caulk and/or covered with PVC base cove.
  • In most applicaations no gluing is required. The only situations that gluing is recommended are:
  • When the tiles will be exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Where there are extremely heavy traffic maneuvers combined with tight turning.
  • Floor is exposed to high temperatures.
  • Tiles are installed in cold temperatures
  • When gluing is required for best results we recommend the use of TILEBOND 55™ (see product information)
