Manufacturers suggest using Tacky glue like Dunlop 2 L Pressure-Sensitive Carpet Tile Adhesive. This means it is easy to remove or replace if necessary, as it forms like a sticker on the surface. 

Materials

• ⬜ Carpet tiles (check arrows on back)

•  Tile Adhesive

• ⬜ Masking / painter’s tape (for your straight reference line)

• ⬜ Floor primer (only if floor is dusty, porous, or sandy)

Tools

• ⬜ Vacuum cleaner 

• ⬜ Tape measure

• ⬜ Pencil

• ⬜ Short-nap roller (6–10 mm)

• ⬜ Paint tray

• ⬜ Utility knife (if you are installing the whole room length). 

• ⬜ Straight edge / ruler

• ⬜ Hand roller (optional but helpful)

• ⬜ Clean rags

• ⬜ Good ventilation

INSTALLATION STEPS (FULL, CLEAN VERSION)

1. Clear & clean the room

1. Floor must be dry, clean, dust-free.

2. Set your straight line (with tape)

1. Choose the straightest wall.

2. Measure one tile width out from that wall.

3. Mark two points (one near each end).

4. Run masking tape between those points.

➡️ This tape edge = edge of your first tile row.

3. Dry-check tiles

1. Lay 2–3 tiles along the tape.

2. Confirm:

   • Arrows direction

   • Pattern orientation

   • Tiles sit square

3. Adjust tape if needed.

4. Apply the adhesive

1. Pour adhesive into tray.

2. Use short-nap roller.

3. Roll a thin, even coat over the floor.

4. Do not over-apply.

Coverage guide:

• ~14–16 m² per 2 L (thin coat).

5. Wait for correct tack

Wait until adhesive:

• Turns clear / translucent

• Feels tacky, not wet

• Does not transfer to finger

⏱ Usually 30–60 minutes.

❌ Do not lay tiles while adhesive is wet.

6. Lay the first row

1. Start at one end of the tape.

2. Place first tile tight to the tape.

3. Lay tiles end-to-end along the tape.

4. Keep edges snug, not forced.

👉 This row controls the whole floor.

7. Lay remaining tiles

1. Work away from the tape, row by row.

2. Follow arrow direction consistently.

3. Press tiles firmly by hand.

4. Lift and reposition if needed.

8. Remove the tape

Once 2–3 rows are stable:

• Carefully peel up the tape

• Fill that row gap with tiles

9. Cut perimeter tiles

1. Measure gap to wall.

2. Transfer measurement to back of tile.

3. Cut using knife + straight edge.

4. Factory edge faces into the room.

10. Final press / roll

• Walk over the floor or use a hand roller

• Focus on edges and seams

11. After installation

• 🚶 Light foot traffic: OK

• 🚫 Heavy furniture: wait 24 hours

• 🚫 Wet cleaning: wait 48 hours

Installation Methods
Quarter-turn (checkerboard) / Monolithic (one-way)

Installation Notes

• When installed in one direction (monolithic), joints may be more visible.

• Each tile pattern is random; specific pattern placement cannot be designated.

• Due to the manufacturing process, pattern matching between tiles is not possible.

• Because of the pile’s height variation, joints may appear more noticeable depending on the pattern.

• The appearance can vary significantly depending on the installation direction.
  If any sections look inconsistent, replace individual tiles as needed.
