1) Measure the length & width of the room and divide the dimensions in two.
2) Locate & mark the centre of the room – This is the approximate starting point for the installation
3) Check the number of tiles required to reach the walls in each direction. Remember you can cut the tiles to fit.
4) Draw a chalk-line through the start point parallel to the longest dimension. This is to act as a guide for keeping tiles parallel to the walls. To ensure the line is parallel to the walls, measure out from the wall near each end of the room, mark the points on the floor and draw the chalk-line between the points.
5) Starting from the middle of the room begin to lay the tiles. – It is advisable to set the tiles down first – lay them out on the floor before you proceed to fit them together
6) Using the rubber mallet, tap the tiles together starting from the corners and working out.
7) Leave approximately 5mm expansion gap between the tiles and the walls or any fixed point
8) Once all the full tiles have been laid it is advisable to wait approximately 24 hours before finishing the edge sections. This allows for any slight expansion or contraction due to temperature changes.
