oil or grease. Do not install tiles over heated floors, loose or uneven
flooring, damp concrete, or on concrete with high alkaline levels. When
installing over concrete or wood, use a latex primer to coat the surface.
Additional adhesives are not recommended for use with these peel and stick
tiles. Do not install tiles where the temperature regularly reaches below 55°F
or over 85° F. This product is intended for indoor use.
Installation
- Snap or draw a line from opposite corners of the room to find the center point of the floor.
- To confirm tile placement, place tiles on the floor keep adhesive liner in place from the center of the room and work towards the walls.
- You want your tile placement to minimize the need for tiny tile pieces along the edges.
- Adjust layout as necessary.
- Remove the backing from the first tile, and position from the center of the room press/smooth down firmly.
- To maintain adhesive strength, avoid debris or oil from your hands to come in contact with the back of the tiles.
- Match the next tile, rotating the pattern as needed for the best pattern match, and install it tightly against the first, while lining up tile edges.
- Apply the tiles in a step pattern, working in one-quarter of the room at a time.
- There may be slight variations in design from tile to tile due to the nature of the printing process.
- Rotation of the tiles will allow for the best match and overall look.
- Use a utility knife and straight edge to trim the tiles to fit along the edges of the room.
- Installing tiles to the wall under baseboards will be more forgiving when trimming the edges, and will allow for proper room expansion when temperatures shift.
- Installing the tiles too tight can cause buckling as room temperature fluctuates.
- For an optimal bond, use a 75-100Ib tile roller.
Cleaning Tiles
- Wait five days after installation before cleaning.
- Clean tiles with a dry or damp mop with mild diluted soap or vinyl floor cleaner.
- Do not soak tiles, as this will have an adverse effect on the adhesive.
