Tab Installation

1. Start from the intersection point in the center of the oor with the 1st

tile. Place a tab under each edge of the tile at the corners, leaving ¾ of

the tab exposed

2. Carefully insert the second tile in place then rmly press the tile

into the tab.

3. Continue with the third tile, creating a stair step or pyramid pattern,

starting at the center point. Check to ensure tiles are properly aligned at

edges during the installation. (See gure to right.)

4. Place tabs under the edges of the second and third tile.

5. Continue with the stair step method until the entire area is completed.

6. All carpet tiles must be rolled with a 75 lb. or 100 lb. roller.

NOTE: Before pressing tile into the adhesive tab, t the tiles

together, being careful not to trap face yarns between or under

the edges of the tile and/or crease the tab under the tile.
