Measuring

Determine the number of tiles that you will be needing by measuring the length (L) and width (W) of the room to be carpeted (as shown in Figure 1). MuItiply the width times the length to get the square meterage of the room.

For rooms that are not rectangular, break the room up into smaller rectangles (as shown in Fig re 2.). Multiply the width times, the height for each of he smaller rectangles separately and add up all the results to arrive at the overall square meterage.

LAYOUT
Determine the centre of the room by snapping chalk lines between the midpoints of the room's opposing walls (figure 3).

A Special Pressure Sensitive Adhesive may be applied very thinly using a short napped paint roller on to the subfloor. This adhesive will stay tacky and will allow the tiles to be removed and replaced at a later date with ease. However; caution must be used not to apply excessive adhesive to the floor as it could possibly ooze up between the tiles. It's best to "Think Thin" when using this method.

Double-sided tape accomplishes the same task and will not gum up the subfloor. The tape will work well on most clean dry surfaces such as cement floors, plywood subfloors, hardwood floors, exsiting vinyl flooring, as well as ceramic tiles, etc. This is our recommended method of installation for DO-IT YOURSELFERS.

After you have placed all the full tiles, the perimeter tiles must be accurately marked and cut to fit snug against the wall. Start by placing the tile to be cut directly on top of the last tile in a row. Next, position another tile against the wall and on top of the tile to be cut. Make a mark on each side where the outer corners of the top tile overlap the tile to be cut. Remove the tile and using a sharp utility knife and a straight edge, cut through the back of the perimeter tile between the two marks. Use this same procedure to cut and fit the rest of the perimeter tiles.
