Wall to Wall Installations
Cutting the Material
Use a retractable utility knife or box cutter. Start with a new blade and change the blade if the
mat begins to fray when you are cutting the mat.
Layout Option One - Using some border strips (included).
Start by placing one tile in the corner of your room that shares the two longest walls, this corner
tile should have two border strips attached. Next install mats with one border strip attached
running away from the one corner tile in two directions - to cover two walls.
Next, interlock all the mats that do not need to be cut by working toward the opposite corner of
the room from where you started. When all the mats are installed that do not need to be cut,
then go ahead and start cutting the perimeter mats to fit up against the wall of your room,
leaving a 1/4" gap for mat expansion.
For many layouts you can use one mat in two spaces if the space to fill up against the wall is
less than 10" wide.
Layout Option Two - Using no border strips.
Start the layout in the center of your room and install all the mats that do not need to be cut.
Center the layout in the middle of the room. Next, begin cutting mats to fit around the
perimeter of your room. Remember to save the scraps as you may be able to use them again
to fill another gap in your room.
Please note: When figuring square foot coverage, these mats will lose 3/8" per tile after
interlocking the tiles together.
