Installation Instructions

WARNING: The release paper has a slippery surface. To avoid accidents, place release paper in a
suitable receptacle as it is removed. Do not walk or stand on pieces of release paper or loose tile.
Start placing the tile at the center point, following the chalk lines. Do not slide tile into place. Set it in
place at a slight angle to the floor. Butt each tile squarely to the adjoining tile and press firmly. For best
appearance, install each tile with arrows on the back of the release paper all pointing the same direction.
6. Install tile over one quarter of the floor at a time, working out from the center in a pyramid (see
Illustration #3). Do not install cut tile around the edges of the room until the entire main floor has been
covered.
7. To fit tile around obstacles, make a pattern of the area on paper, trace the pattern onto the tile and cut.
Leave the release paper on the tile and cut with the paper side up using scissors or a straight edge and a
knife.
8. Tile may be cut with a linoleum knife or a utility knife. To fit a partial tile, first place a loose tile directly
over the last whole tile (TILE "A") closest to the wall, then butt another tile (TILE "B") against the wall
overlapping the tile to be cut and draw line with a pencil to cut (do not cut on floor, as you may cut
through and damage new tiles). (See Illustration #4.)
Check to see if the fit is acceptable, then remove release paper and set the tile into place.
GROUT APPLICATION
For ungrouted installations you are now finished. Please proceed to the "Use and Care” instructions for
your luxury vinyl floor. For grouted installations, your floor can be grouted immediately. Please note,
however, that traditional cement grouts are not recommended. In order to resist cracking, we recommend
a colored premixed grout with high flexibility strength and adhesion. No spacers are required with the L-
Grout Line™ System-a uniform grout line is built in. The colored grout may be worked into the L-Grout
lines a small section at a time as specified per manufacturer's instructions on the colored grout label.
Important: The sooner the grout is removed from the surface of the tile with clean water, the easier it is to
clean up.
