INSTALLATION & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preparing the Surface:
ALL floor surfaces MUST be dry, clean, smooth, and level.
• Cement: Fill in all cracks and holes with suitable latex filler
• Wood: Make sure all surfaces are securely nailed down. Countersink nail heads, and cover with latex
filler/sealer. Be surface must be completely clean and free of paint, varnish, or wax.
• Resilient Vinyl: Remove all dirt, grease, or wax build up.
2. To Begin:
You must determine the center point of your area. Measure the center points of opposite walls and
secure a chalk line from one side to the other. Snap the line. Repeat the process with the other set of
opposite walls. Be point at which the chalk lines intersect is the center.
3. Tile Installation:
Starting at the center point as shown in Figure 1, peel off the protective paper and carefully align the tile
with the chalk line markings. Press down firmly. Moving along the chalk line, but each tile squarely and
as tight as possible.
4. Cuing Tiles:
Tiles should be cut with a straight edge and utility knife. (Do not cut over newly installed tiles as the
blade may damage the new tiles.) Simple light scribe only then bend tile on scribe until it breaks.
5. Care:
• Wash tiles with warm water. May use mild dish soap or a non-abrasive mild cleaner.
• No wax needed.
