Norsk™ Foam Mat Installation and Care Instructions

Most applications require only a limited area to be covered. Norsk™ borders can

be used to finish off the edge of the surface area being covered, creating an area

mat.

Layout of Room

For covering only a portion of an area or room:

Simply measure the area to be covered and multiply the length x width to some

up with the amount of square feet needed. Divide the total square footage by

33.5 or 16 (depending if you purchased the 8 packs or 4 packs) to get the

amount of packs needed for your application. Simply lay out the Norsk ™ mats

in the pattern desired by connecting the interlocking teeth. Install all corner and

straight border pieces for safety and a finished look. NOTE: all borders will not fit

depending on layout. Simply cut borders to fit to match your application

For a permanent installation of an entire room, follow the following

instructions:

Tools Needed: Utility Knife, Carpenters Square, Chalk line, straight edge, and

paper and a pencil for tracing.

Treat the room as a rectangle, disregarding offsets,

alcoves, etc. Find the center points of the two end walls

and snap a chalk line between them. Find the center of

the chalk line and, using a carpenter’s square, draw a

second line at right angles to the first line and extend it

to the sidewalls. The room is now divided into (4) equal

parts.

Start at the center of the room where the two chalk lines

Intersect by laying a row of Norsk ™ Foam Mats along

one end wall and another to a sidewall. Measure the

distance from the last mat to the wall. If it is less than 6”

move the centerline 6” nearer to the opposite wall. Do

this in both directions. All borders will now be wider and will be

easier to cut and fit. Starting at the centerline, make sure each Norsk ™ mat is

flush with the edge of the chalk line and each mat is connected snugly with the

next one in line.

Fitting the Borders

Place a loose mat directly over the last mat in the row.

Place a loose mat directly over the first loose mat so

that one end of the second mat is butted against the wall.

Now mark the underneath mat with a pencil or a knife.

Cut along the line created and lay the border section of

mat in place, checking for a proper fit. Foam mat can be
