• Start your installation as close to the center of the room as possible. To find the center
of your room, follow these steps:
– Locate your two longest, straightest walls.
– Use the tape measure to find the center of each wall.
– Measure a line from the center of each wall until the lines intersect. This will be the
center of the room. Mark the center.
• Once you have identified the center of the room, snap a chalk line along the
horizontal or vertical line dividing your room in half. You will install half the room
before moving to the other half.
– To snap a chalk line, grab a friend to help.
– Pull the string across the room so it aligns with the marked center.
– Once the string is lined up, pull the string taut and snap the string. This will leave a
straight line dividing your room in half.
– Avoid stepping on the chalk line as chalk can transfer to your shoes, clothing and
carpet tiles.
