Description
Specifications
Made of: PVC
Design: Interlocking tiles with raised disc embossed surface. Grid pattern underside.
Maintenance: Sweep and/or damp mop with a mild detergent. Make sure water does not seep between tiles.
Installation: (adhesive is recommended in applications where it will be subjects to continuous moisture levels)
For SQUARE rooms:
Mark center of room (discounting minor offsets so that tiles at opposite edges of the room are of equal width). Adjust
accordingly to avoid cuts less than 1/2 tile at room perimeters. Lay down 4 tiles at center mark, square to room axis. A
rubber mallet is needed to connect the tiles. Continue towards walls. To create a flush edge against the wall, cut off the
outer tabs, using a utility knife — or — cut tile to fit.
For IRREGULAR rooms:
Start laying tiles at one corner and work your way through the room. A rubber mallet is needed to connect the tiles. To
create a flush edge against the wall, cut off the outer tabs, using a utility knife — or — cut tile to fit.
Sizes and Weights: 19.5″x19.5″ 4.8 lbs 5/16″ thick (approx)
