BEFORE YOU LAY YOUR TILES

NOTE: THIS FLOORING IS NOT INTENDED AS A FIXED INSTALLATION AND MUST BE ABLE TO BE REMOVED EASILY IF REQUIRED.

PREPARATION For best results it is advised to install on a level and clean floor.

CLEAN Sweep the existing floor to ensure that the surface is clean and free of dust and dirt.

SURFACE CHECK We recommend using a self-levelling repair compound in areas where there are variations in the floor surface. If damage is not repaired the floor tiles may break apart at the edges.

The smoother the floor is the more even and resilient your tiled floor will be.

TEMPERATURE We advise that the tiles are laid in areas that have an ambient temperature between 16C-24C.

(Let the tiles acclimatise for at least 24 - 48 hours before laying).

SUNLIGHT Direct sunlight can cause damage to the tiles, especially during the summer months. When used in garages we suggest that the garage door is kept closed to minimise sunlight exposure.

TOOLS REQUIRED

Rubber mallet to interlock tiles - Use the rubber mallet to tap the tiles together starting from the corners of the tile and working out.

Tape measure to make sure dimensions are correct before cutting any tiles to suit the available space.

Utility knife / hand saw or electric saw such as a circular saw, jig saw, table saw, etc

LAYING THE TILES

INSTALLING ROWS OF TILES 1. Stand inside your garage or warehouse facing

the door opening.

2. Place your first tile in the top left hand corner with the pegged male sides facing the left wall and garage walls.

Flat side up.

Leave a 1/4 expansion gap between the tile and walls.

3. Work left to right, interlocking Tile B with Tile A and making sure that loops and pegs are facing the same direction.

4. Continue with your first row until the right wall is reached.

5. Return to the left wall and repeat.

NOTE: If cutting is necessary, please refer to the cutting recommendation on page 6. Measure the tiles before laying and cut as required.

WARNING: DO NOT WALK ON TILES THAT ARE NOT INTERLOCKED TOGETHER AS THEY CAN BE A DANGEROUS SLIPPING AND TRIPPING HAZARD. TILES CAN EASILY SLIDE ACROSS A PAINTED FLOOR AND SHOULD THEREFORE ONLY BE INSTALLED WHERE THEY CAN TOUCH 3 SURROUNDING WALLS.

INSTALLING THE EDGE PIECES You should have both male pegged and female looped edge pieces as well as any corner pieces required as listed and shown on page 2.

1. Following completion of the first three rows, connect the edges to the first installed row nearest to the door opening.

Edge pieces are recommended for use in doorways and can also be used for sloping the floor onto a different surface.

2. Close your garage door and gently push the first 3 rows of tiles with attached edge pieces up against the garage door for precise fit.

OPTION 1 - FEMALE EDGE + TILE

3. Line up the tile and align the female looped border with the male pegs of the tile and clip into place.

OPTION 2 - MALE EDGE + TILE

4. Hover above and align the edge male/pegs with the female/looped edge of the tile and clip into place.

5. With the pegs and loops aligned, begin by pressing the sides of the tile into the edge pieces, working your way to the centre. This may require a little pressure and you will feel a snap when the tile is attached to the edge piece.

Do not use undue force which could break the pegs/loops.

NOTE: Edge tiles may have to be cut to fit within any door openings.

6. Repeat the above steps until the back wall is reached.

Be sure to check the alignment of your floor as you progress.

Cutting of the tiles may be necessary along the back wall to complete the installation.

FINISHING OFF The gap between the tiles and walls can be covered with a suitable trim (not supplied).

In doorways, an edge tile may be used if the tiles are to meet a different floor covering. If the tiles are to continue through a doorway, no edge pieces required.

AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK For best results leave the area in clean condition by removing all debris and vacuuming up any residual dust.

CUTTING THE TILES

The tiles can be cut with a hand saw or electric saw such as a circular saw, jig saw, table saw, etc. We recommend using PPE appropriate to the tools being used.

A fine toothed blade is recommended.

Refer to the tool manufacturer's safety guidelines.

NOTE: When making your cuts, be sure to position your tile accordingly to ensure it interlocks with the rest of your flooring.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Floor tiles can be cleaned easily using a damp mop, preferably using a neutral floor cleaning product.

For best results give the floor a light clean regularly.

A powerful vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust and other material which has fallen through the apertures in the tiles.

In the event of liquid spillage, the tiles have a grating and drainage system to allow liquid to drain away. Suitable drainage might be required depending upon the use of the installation.
