RaceDay™ Peel and Stick Tile is made of the highest quality solid vinyl from top to bottom without being layered. RaceDay

tile is tough enough to drive on yet comfortable to walk on. The longer it sets, the better it will look. RaceDay tile is resistant to

battery acid, oil, salt, antifreeze and alkali. RaceDay™ tile contains no asbestos, lead, or hazardous chemicals at levels found to

be of concern on Prop 65.

Tools needed: Utility knife, straight edge, and something to mark ﬂoor.

Prep & Installation Instructions

1. How much tile will you need? We recommend that you purchase about 10% more tile than your project will require. This will

allow you to cover mistakes, trimming and for future possible damage.

2. Clean Floor: Clean sub ﬂoor free of grease, wax, dirt, oil, foreign matter and any chemicals that may be present. Make sure

subﬂoor is smooth and ﬁll in areas if needed.

3. Preparation of Sub Floor: Concrete must be fully cured (about 28 days or longer after pouring), free of moisture and

alkalinity. Make standard moisture and alkalinity test if necessary. Moisture and alkali will not hurt or damage the RaceDay™

tile, but it can damage the adhesive and cause it to break down over time. Note: It is the responsibility of the installer or

ﬂooring contractor to determine the dryness of all concrete subﬂoors before installation of ﬂoor tiles begins. On grade

concrete subﬂoors must contain an effective, permanent moisture barrier (ﬂoor primer or basement proofer). Plywood/solid

wood subﬂoors should be dry and fully cured. It is also recommended to use a primer on wood subﬂoors for better bond. The

primer prevents the adhesive from being absorbed into the concrete or wood surface. Failure to use primer over concrete

voids warranty. All holes, cracks, and depressions must be ﬁlled with a latex underlayment and any cracks and depressions

must be eliminated. Dust should be removed with a vacuum or damp mop and dried immediately before applying peal and

stick tile.

4. Layout of Room: Lay out some unpeeled tile on ﬂoor to see how your pattern and placement will look before actually

applying tile. It is recommended to always start from a square point and work out. Treat room as a rectangle and ﬁnd the

center points of two end walls. Mark ﬂoor to insure square point and make a guideline with pencil, ink, laser or light chalk line

for your ﬁrst row of tile then entire grid if desired (if using a chalk line make sure you do not have excessive chalk on ﬂoor, it

can prevent adhesive from sticking).

5. Laying Tile: Make sure all tile has been stored at room temperature of at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit for a period of 48

hours. Do not install tile in conditions less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Always start from front and center and work towards

the back corners. Peel off release paper and place tile edge ﬂush with marking line and slowly lower remainder of tile onto

ﬂoor in a bent fashion as if you were unrolling a mat. This will keep air out and assure an even stick. Tile can be peeled back

up and repositioned if required.

6. Boarder Tile: Do not peel off paper from back before you make your cuts. Turn tile over and place loose tile over last row so

that one end of loose tile is touching the wall. Then mark paper of loose tile with pencil and cut with knife. Then peel off back

of ﬁtted tile, turn over and put in place. When ﬁtting around obstacles make pattern on paper and draw an outline on the

back of tile paper to cut shape.

7. For best results, be sure to roll your ﬂoor in both directions after installation to make sure all air bubbles are out and

adhesive touches the subﬂoor.

NOTE: Better Life Technology, LLC is not responsible for installation.

CLEANING & CARE:

Surface is easily washed with ﬂoor soap and water. Mild soaps and other household detergents suitable for ﬂoors are usually

effective. Never leave harsh detergents or chemicals on product. Normal household vinyl cleaners may be used to increase

longevity and to remove stubborn debris. Certain automotive vinyl products may cause surface to become slippery. Use a non-slip

vinyl ﬂoor cleaner–protector such as Armstrong Once ’n Done

Floor Cleaner or Armstrong Shinekeeper

Floor Polish. For best

results, follow directions provided with vinyl ﬂoor cleaner. Do not strip, polish, buff or burnish. Scrub ﬂoor if needed with light broom

or ﬂoor cleaning pad for vinyl ﬂooring.

This is not a stain-proof product—certain dyes, inks, rubber tires, and chemicals may cause permanent staining. Some non-

permanent stains can be removed with spray-on Brake and Tool Cleaner, found in many auto parts stores, without damaging

the product. However, use of Brake and Tool Cleaner may cause product discoloration. Never use harsh chemicals such as tar

remover or kerosene on this product.
