Royal Interlocking Carpet Tiles
Installation and Maintenance
>>>Please note: the back of each Royal Carpet Tile is marked with a
directional arrow. This arrow indicates the direction of the “nap” or pile
of the carpet. When installing your Royal Carpet Tiles, place each
tile with the arrows pointing in the same direction.<<<
Typical installation of these tiles is as follows:
First, clean your sub floor removing all dirt, grease or debris.
Start in one corner of the room with a carpet tile and add tiles outward along the adjacent
walls, removing extra border strips. Continue to add tiles making sure to follow the
directional arrows.
When approaching an opposite wall, make sure you cut the tiles to fit the area, leaving a gap
of 1/2”. This gap will accommodate expansion and contraction of the floor tiles in varied
temperature ranges.
Note: When piecing interlocking carpet tiles together, adhesives are usually not used since the
weight of the locked together product is usually enough to keep the floor tiles from moving.
However, if you do experience movement and would like to ensure that the tiles do not move;
double-sided tape or mat tape can be used around the perimeter of the installation to prevent
any movement.
For maintenance:
The recommended cleaning instructions typically include vacuuming the tiles on a medium
setting to remove any loose or dry crumbs, dust, or debris.
To clean harder set-in stains or liquids, the carpet tiles may be wiped with a damp rag or can
be temporarily removed and cleaned with warm running water in a sink or tub.
