TROUBLESHOOTING
Stains on the tile floor covering
■ What kind of stains can be removed? The tile floor covering will
resist many stains from common garage and automotive
products. However, certain products such as brake fluid, dyes,
and carbon black from tires may, over time, produce stains that
are permanent.
■ What products are needed to remove stains? Blot or wipe up
spills quickly to reduce the likelihood of permanent staining. If
washing with mild soap and water does not remove the stains,
use only a degreaser that is compatible with polypropylene
material.
IMPORTANT: Using a degreaser other than one that is
compatible with polypropylene material will damage the tile floor
covering.
The tile floor covering becomes slightly buckled near the
wall or baseboard
Are the tiles buckling near the wall or baseboard? The tile floor
covering expands and contracts with seasonal temperature changes.
If you are installing the tile floor covering when the temperature is
cool, leave a ¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) gap between the tile floor covering and
each wall or baseboard to allow expansion room when the
temperature warms.
What if buckling occurs and no gap exists? It may be necessary to
remove the tiles adjacent to the wall or obstruction and trim the tiles
to leave the necessary space or gap.
