INSTALLATION TIPS
Your new floor is a free-floating floor system that requires no
glues or fasteners to install. The following are a few key tips that
will make your installation process trouble-free:
 Start your installation from either side of the garage door opening and work
inward. Be sure to have your male edge (peg) facing the garage door and your
loops facing the right and the back of the garage.
 During your floor installation, keep nothing on top of the floor as your floor will
self-correct as you go.
 Do your entire trimming at the hottest part of the day and with nothing on top of
the floor.
 Be sure to leave a minimum of ½” space between the floor and the wall (or
anything such as cabinets, door rails, steps, etc). Your floor edge should never be
up against anything.
 When bringing everything back into your newly surfaced area, do so at the hottest
part of the day when the floor is fully expanded to its maximum.
 Never try to glue down or fasten your floor; it is designed to expand and contract.
 RaceDeck can be trimmed to fit any size area using simple tools such as a table
saw, circular saw, or band saw. A combination or fine tooth blade works best.
 Day-to-day cleaning is performed by sweeping and mopping with water and a
degreaser (Grease Lightening or Simple Green) or low-suds ammonia. Solvent-
based solutions can be used to clean stubborn areas. We also have a Commercial
Cleaning kit available for $76.50 + shipping (includes 1 gallon of our Maintain,
Stripper, and Cleaner). The RaceDeck can be unsnapped into several smaller
sections and removed to the driveway from the garage for heavy-duty cleaning.
To aid in separating the floor, slide a broom handle under the floor at a joint and
slide it along the joint to separate the locks. Or you can use a putty knife to
remove one single tile.
