The tiles can be loose laid on flat, dry floors free from impurities such as oil, grease etc. Cracked floors should be filled, and uneven floors covered with hardboard. Dusty floors should be primed. Because of the high insulation value of these tiles it is not recommended they be laid when under-floor heating systems are in use. On very large installations, it is advisable to secure 1 in 5 rows with double-sided tape Where tiles are to be used under caster chairs, tiles should be fully secured. The tiles may be laid by marking across in the center of the room and working outwards from this, the marker cross may be moved to facilitate these of full tiles in doorways, etc. Tiles must be laid by turning alternate tiles through 90 degrees to obtain a checker pattern. An arrow on the back of each tile indicates the pile direction. Only tiles with the same batch number should be laid together. Maintenance Regular vacuuming (Weekly in low-traffic areas, and daily or twice daily in areas with higher traffic) with a motor-driven brush and beater bar can remove up to 80% of surface dirt, and is the easiest way to prolong the life of your carpet. Regular vacuuming is key to maintaining your carpet, but eventually the carpet color dulls from dirt and grime stuck in the fibers. The dirt is then carried further into the building to form more soil reservoirs. Additionally, the oil content (15%) of the soil causes particles to stick to carpet fiber and resist vacuuming. To restore the carpet to its best condition, frequent light cleaning gives the best result and is often very cost effective.
