Installation Guide

Interlocking 2 ft. x 2 ft. x 8 mm Rubber Floor Tiles

Installation Instructions

1. Suitable substrates include but are not limited to permanently dried concrete

and wood.

2. To eliminate the telegraphing effect of defects in the substrate through the

flooring, the substrate must be smooth.

3. Remove all dust, dirt, grease, and foreign materials from the substrate.

4. Moisture in the substrate negatively affects any adhesive product and should be

eliminated prior to installation.

B. Tile Installation Procedure

1. Inspect flooring prior to installation for manufacturing defects and size.

2. A successful installation depends on several factors and your flooring contractor

will help you choose the correct installation method based on your needs.

Greatmats Interlocking Floor Tiles have been successfully installed with “loose

laid”, tape down, and full glue down applications. The entire floor should be dry

laid prior to adhesive application. This eliminates problems associated with the

differences in “open time” of different adhesives.

a. Snap a chalk line on the sub-floor 24” from one wall in your room. Snap

another chalk line on the sub-floor 24” from an adjacent wall. You now

have a set of perpendicular lines making an approximate 90-degree angle.

b. Begin laying the interlocking tiles along one of the chalk lines, snapping the

locks together as you go making sure the “arrow” of each tile points in the

same direction.

c. Leave the perimeter of the room open until the field is installed.

d. Continue locking the tiles together in successive rows until the field area is

covered.

e. Go back and cut in the tiles along the walls in the room. Leaving a gap at the

wall roughly the thickness of the material being installed is a good idea.

f. This method should maximize the usage of the tiles and the strength of the

interlock mechanism while minimizing the cuts that need to be made.
