INSTALLATION
HOW TO INSTALL: Norsk
™
Foam Flooring
Most applications require only a limited area to be covered. Norsk
™
borders can be used to nish 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 the square feet listed on the item you purchased 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 nished look.
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 rst 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 side wall. 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 t. Starting at the cen-
terline, make sure each Norsk
™
mat is ush with the edge of the chalk line and
each mat is connected snugly with the next one in line.
Fitting the Borders (Wall to wall Installation)
Place a loose mat directly over the last mat in the row. Place a loose mat directly
over the rst 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 t.
Foam mat can be butted up against the wall and any molding can be removed
and replaced, making any trim cut adjustments as needed.
Fitting Around Irregular Objects
Make a pattern out of heavy paper to t around pipes or other irregular objects.
Place the pattern on the mat and trace it. Cut along the lines with a utility knife.
