ESTABLISH THE CENTER POINT OF YOUR ROOMIn order to determine the center point of your room, snap chalk lines from opposite corners and from opposite walls. Use a straight edge when snapping the chalk line from opposite walls to ensure the lines form a 90o angle.

POSITION THE TILESFrom the center point, and starting from one end of the wall lay your tiles to the opposite side. You may need to shift your first row from your base wall to ensure proper fitting and avoid any short tile strips against each wall. The tiles can be positioned: Quarter-Turn, Ashlar and Brick.

U-TILE TAPE PLACEMENTEach U-Tile tape square has 4 sections, the sections are defined by 2 lines forming a cross. After tiles are positioned, and starting from one side of the wall, simply lift one corner of the tile and place one section of the U-Tile tape square (sticky side up) underneath that same corner. The U-Tile tape squares should be placed underneath the tiles and at every corner or edge where tiles meet. For tiles next to a wall cut the U-Tile tape square in half.

The U-TILE TAPE INSTALLATION system is a glue free method which allows the installation of carpet tiles without using adhesive, creating a durable “floating” floor. The major advantages of this system include:- Quicker installation and decreased down time (no need to wait for the glue to dry, easier floor preparation and no mess)- Ease of removal when changing or replacing your carpet tiles- Flexible installation and superior performance in all areas and environments- Can be installed below, on or above grade
