5. installation
5.1. planning the floor
5.1.1. Locate and mark the centre point of end walls. Strike a chalk line connecting
these two points. Locate and mark the centre of this line.
5.1.2. Using a tile, draw a line through the mark perpendicular to the centre line. Strike
a chalk line connecting the side walls along the perpendicular.
5.1.3. Lay a complete row of tiles along the chalk lines from the centre to one side wall
and one end wall.
5.1.4. If the distance between wall and edge of last tile is less than 3” or more than 9”,
strike a new chalk line 6” from the previous chalk line to establish a starting point.
5.1.5. For larger areas open several boxes and mix the tiles before installing. This
will blend any slight colour variations there may be. For best appearance, install
each tile with arrows of the back of the tile all pointing in the same direction.
5.2. laying the floor
5.2.1. Remove release paper from the back of a tile and place it at the centre point,
make sure its edges are along the chalk lines. Press rmly into place, set the
next tile into place at a slight angle to the oor. Butt each tile squarely to the
adjoining tile. do not slide the tile into place. Remove the release paper from
the back of the tile as you install it. The release paper has a slippery surface.
5.2.2. TO AVOID ACCIDENTS PLACE THE RELEASE PAPER IN A SUITABLE
RECEPTACLE AS IT IS REMOVED. do not WALK OR STAND ON PIECES
OF RELEASE PAPER OR LOOSE TILE.
5.2.3. Install one quarter of the oor at a time. do not cut the tiles around the edges
of the room until the main area of the oor has been covered.
5.2.4. To t around obstacles, make a pattern on paper, trace onto a tile and cut with
paper side up using scissors and a straight edge and sharp knife. It should t
snugly and should not be forced into place.
5.2.5. To t border tiles, place a loose tile ‘A’ over the last tile in a row. Butt another
tile “B” against the wall and mark the tile “A” with a pencil along the edge of the
“B” tile. Cut the tile “A” along the pencil line.
5.2.6. Lay all tiles ensuring a close t but do not force together. make sure that the
cut edge always faces the wall.
6. care and Maintenance
6.1. Once the complete oor is installed, roll the tiles with a household rolling pin or
a metal pipe in both directions, atten any ridges and make seams swell.
6.2. Allow 48 to 72 hours before washing the oor to allow the tiles to conform to
the sub-oor.
6.2.1. Sweep regularly to remove surface grit and dust. Never use excessive amounts
of water when cleaning the tiles - use a damp cloth or mop and rinse with
clean water. When necessary a mild detergent can be added to
the water. do not use abrasive cleaners.
6.2.2. High heels can damage oors. Use protective pads under furniture.
