Our 5/8" thick interlocking Premium Soft Carpet Tiles are an ideal choice for lightweight, easy-to-install, and portable flooring for areas where soft carpet flooring would be beneficial. These high-density foam-backed carpet tiles provide anti-fatigue cushioning designed to keep you comfortable during long periods of standing. These tiles are also waterproof, reduce sound transmission, and insulate against cold subfloors. Additionally, our soft tile products are 100% allergen-free and contain no latex.
First, clean your subfloor so it is free of all dirt, grease, or debris. Start in one corner of the room with a corner tile and add border tiles outward along the adjacent walls. Add center, corner and border tiles where you see fit. When coming up to an opposite wall, make sure you cut the tiles to fit the area leaving a gap that's roughly the thickness of the tiles being used to account for expansion and contraction of the floor tiles in varied temperature regions. When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives aren't usually needed since the weight of the products is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, if you do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all, you can use some double-sided tape or mat tape around the perimeter of the installation to prevent any movement.
Vacuuming the tiles on a medium setting to remove any loose or dry crumbs, dust, or debris. To clean harder caked-on stains or liquids off the carpet tile, the tiles can be wiped off with a damp rag or can be temporarily lifted and cleaned under warm running water in a sink or tub.

Any carpet tape, carpet tile tabs, or carpet glue would do the trick. We have several options available on our site. We have not tested Liquid Nail, but in theory it should work as well.
