3/8" Tight-Lock Tiles™ With Removable Borders

Installation of these interlocking tiles is very simple and usually done by the consumer. Typical installation of these tiles is as follows:

1. First, clean your subfloor so it is free of all dirt, grease, or debris.
2. Start in one corner of the room with a corner tile and add border tiles outward along the adjacent walls. Leave the other two edges of the room open and fill in the rest, adding center, corner, and border tiles where you see fit.
3. After the open floor is covered, go back and cut in tiles along the opposite walls in the room. We recommend leaving a gap along the walls roughly the thickness of the tiles and using it to account for the floor's expansion and contraction in varied temperature ranges.

Note: When piecing interlocking tiles together, adhesives aren’t usually needed since the product's weight is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving. However, do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not slide at all. You can use some double-sided tape or mat tape around the installation's perimeter to prevent movement.

3/8" Tight-Lock Tiles are extremely easy to maintain and keep clean. Maintenance of these interlocking rubber tiles typically includes:

• Vacuuming any loose crumbs, dust, or debris from the surface when necessary.
• Occasional damp mopping of the flooring with a mild soap and water solution. A few recommended soaps are Dawn dish detergent and Tide laundry detergent.

Note: Do not use solvent or oil-style cleaners such as Pinesol, Lysol, Murphy’s Oil Soap, WD40, paint thinner, etc., as these will break down the flooring over time.
