Obstructions
IMPORTANT:
■ If there are any obstructions in the path of the tile floor covering
such as a floor drain, support post, or stairs, use a saw to make
the necessary cutouts.
■ There are two ways to cover floor drains.
Style 1: Cutouts of tile floor covering for the existing drain.
Style 2: Insert one or more Gladiator ® DrainTiles (optional) over
the existing drain.
Edge Trim Installation
Insert the edge trim by joining the male tabs to the connecting female
loops. Connect the corner edge trim as shown.
TILE FLOOR COVERING CARE
Your tile floor covering should last for years with proper care and
maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
■ Sweep the tile floor covering, as needed, to remove surface dirt,
sand, rocks and other abrasive material that may scratch or cut
the surface finish.
■ Periodically, wash the tile floor covering with a mild soap and
water solution. Use a soft scrub brush to remove ground-in dirt
or stains. Do not use a hard scrub brush. Excessive scrubbing
will cause damage to the surface finish.
■ If desired, the tile floor covering can be separated and moved to
the driveway to be cleaned and dried. It is normal for moisture to
appear between the tile floor covering and the garage floor. If
desired, remove the tile floor covering from the garage floor and
allow the floor to dry.
NOTE: Temperatures ranging from 0°F to 120°F will have no
adverse effect on the tile floor covering.
■ Periodically, it may be necessary to separate the installed tile
floor covering in order to remove a damaged tile or to remove
sections of installed tiles for cleaning.
1. To separate tiles start at the left leading edge of the row.
2. Lift up in the center of the tiles pulling up on the right while
pushing down on the left. This will unsnap the connection.
Separate the row of tiles.
NOTE: Be sure to install the replacement tile male tabs/female
loops in the same orientation as the removed tile.
