Forest Floor® Foam Mat Installation and Care
Most applications require only a limited area to be covered. Forest Floor® borders
(included with each tile) can be used to finish off the edge of the surface being
covered, creating an area mat.
IMPORTANT: Forest Floor® foam mats are designed for indoor installation on a hard,
flat subfloor surface such as wood, cement, or concrete. Do not install mats on carpet
or any other soft or uneven surface.
For covering only a portion of the oor:
Simply lay out the Forest Floor® mats to cover the desired area and connect the
interlocking tabs. For safety and a finished look, attach as many corner and straight
border pieces as necessary to close all exposed interlocking tabs. Please note that,
depending on the layout of your area, you may not use all of the included border
pieces.
For wall-to-wall installation:
Treat the room as if it were a rectangle, disregarding any
offsets or alcoves, etc. Find the center points of your
opposing walls and snap a chalk line between them, dividing
the room into four equal parts.
Starting at the center of the room (where the two chalk lines
intersect), lay a row of Forest Floor® foam mats towards one
end wall and another to a side wall, as shown in the diagram
at right. Make sure each mat is flush with your chalk line and
snugly connected to the next mat in line. Measure the
distance from the last mat to the wall. If it is less than 6
inches, move the centerline six inches nearer to the opposite
wall in both directions. This will widen all of your edge pieces,
making them easier to cut and fit.
