Do It Yourself Installation Guide
Pebble Top Foam Gym Tile Flooring
Materials Needed:
Utility Knife or Box C u tt er
Finished Area - As an Island Layout
For a finished island-like layout, simply interlock the tiles together and easily take off the border strips
that are not needed.
Wall to wall installations - Cutting the Material
Use a retractable utility knife or box cutter. Start with a new blade. Change the blade if the tile begins
to fray when you are cutting the tile.
Layout Option One - Using some border strips (included).
Step 1. 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, facing the walls.
Step 2. Next, interlock tiles with one border strip attached (along the wall) running away from the
corner tile in both directions, covering the floor along the two walls.
Step 3. Interlock all the tiles that do not need to be cut, working toward the opposite corner of the
room from where you started. When all the tiles that do not need to be cut are installed, go ahead
and start cutting the perimeter tiles to fit up against the wall of your room - leave a 1/4” gap for tile
expansion.
For many layouts, you can use one tile in two spaces if the space to fill (against the wall) is less than
10” wide.
Layout Option Two - Using no border strips.
Start the layout in the center of your room. Working outward, interlock the tiles until a full tile will not
fit in the remaining perimeter space. Next, begin cutting tiles to fit around the perimeter of your room,
leaving a 1/4” gap for expansion. Remember to save the scraps as you may be able to use them to
fill another gap in your room.
Please note: When figuring square foot coverage - these tiles will lose 3/8” per tile after interlocking
the tiles together.
