Use and Care Manual

PLAN THE LAYOUT
Figure 2.
Begin installing the tile from the
center of the room at the right-
angle marks. Continue this until
all the elds tiles are installed.
Apply adhesive to the other ½ of the room. Finish
making gall perimeter cuts while the adhesive
ashes. Finish the second ½ of the room in
the same fashion (Figures 1 and 2). ALWAYS
DISCARD THE RELEASE PAPER IMMEDIATELT
AFTER REMOVING. THE RELESASE PAPER IS
SLIPPERY AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS.
LAYING THE TILE
Figure 3.
Material should be installed
in a pyramid style fashion as
indicated in illustration.
(Figure 3).
CUTTING THE TILE
Figure 4.
Place the tile to be cut
precisely over a tile on the last
row of eld tile. Lay another tile
tight to the wall and over the
previous tile. (Figure 4). Mark
tile with a pencil line drawn
against tile edge touching the wall. Cut along this
line to ensure a tight t. (Figure 4). Always t cut
edge to wall.
FITTING TILE
To t tile around door jambs, pipes or other
protrusions, cut a paper pattern to t, and trace it on
the face of a tile. Cut the tile and try tting it into place
before installing. Immediately after installation, the
tile should be rolled with a 75# or 100# roller in both
directions and diagonally. Clean up wet adhesive
with water, clean up dry adhesive with a mineral
spirit. The use of solvents to remove dried adhesive
may discolor the oor. Therefore, you should rst
test the solvent on either a scrap piece, or in an
inconspicuous area. Always apply with a clean terry
cloth towel and remove any residue with water on a
separate clean terry cloth towel.
1.Sweep or vacuum the oor depending upon trafc
and soiling conditions.
2.Immediately clean up spills.
3.Occasional damp mopping is suggested with
warm water or neutral pH vinyl oor cleaner.
4.The use of detergent or oil-based oor cleaners
is not recommended since they tend to leave a
residue that can attract more dirt.
We do not recommend the use of steam
cleaners on our oors.
5.The use of abrasive cleaners and/or abrasive
pads is not recommended.
6.To avoid possible permanent indentation or
damage, proper oor protection
Exercise care when removing and
replacing furniture or appliances.
7.Protect ooring from constant exposure to direct
sunlight.
8.A reduction in gloss may be experienced in time.
To restore shine, use oor polish that does not
contain oil-based ingredients or solvents.
9.Do not use rubber-backed or coco-ber mats on
vinyl ooring since they can discolor the oor.
