How To Lay Your KlikFlor PVC Floor Tiles (DIY)
Preparation
Where possible, installation should be done at a regular temperature. Open all packs and allow tiles to acclimatise for a minimum of 24 hours.
- Make sure that all tiles are from the same batch if used in a large area.
- Leave a 5mm expansion gap between the wall and tiles to allow for expansion and contraction when temperature changes occur.
- The tiles are heavy-duty and stable but designed for internal usage away from direct intense extended sunlight.
- Tools: Rubber mallet, sharp heavy-duty safety knife or fine-bladed jigsaw.
Coverage – 4 tiles cover 1 sq m i.e 4 tiles per m2
Step 1 – Start tiling from the door entrance, using the ramp edge as the first tile. Trim tiles on opposite wall leaving a 5 mm expansion gap.
Step 2 – Lay the tiles from the centre tile towards the left and right walls. Centre the tiles and trim off the edges on the left and right. Leave a 5 mm expansion gap.
Step 3 – Lay the remaining tiles and trim edges, leaving a 5 mm expansion gap.
Finishing and Edges
- We recommend waiting 24 hrs before cutting the edge sections. This will allow the tiles to settle and expand fully.
- To get the best results when cutting use a Stanley knife.
- Finish the 5mm expansion gap with either a bead of silicon, skirting profile or aluminium strip – these must not restrict the expansion and contraction.
