Installation of these interlocking tiles is very simple and usually done by the consumer. Typical installation of these tiles is as follows:
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.
Leave the other two edges of the room open and fill in the rest of the room, adding center, corner, and border tiles where you see fit.
After the open floor is covered, go back and cut in tiles along the opposite walls in the room. We recommend leaving a gap along the walls roughly the tiles' thickness being used to account for expansion and contraction of the floor in varied temperature ranges.
Note: When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives aren’t usually needed since the weight of the product 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 any loose dust, dirt, or debris from the flooring surface when necessary. Occasional damp mopping of the rolls with a mild soap and water mixture. Some soaps commonly used include Dawn dish detergent and/or Tide laundry detergent. Note: Do not use any solvent or oil style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc. since these types of cleaners will break down the flooring over time
