M+A Matting strongly recommends cleaning your carpet tiles daily to maintain functionality and appearance. The maintenance schedule should start on the installation date to achieve the maximum expectancy of the product.

• DAILY CLEANING: Vacuum daily with a commercial-grade vacuum cleaner with a rotary power brush or beater bar.
• QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE: Use a high-performance, hot water extraction method a minimum of four times a year. Based on store traffic or environmental conditions, such an increased salt, sand, and dirt, up to six times a year may be necessary.

PREPARATION

• Ensure that the floor is clear of any debris, dust, or dirt.
• Where tile (VCT) is present, it must be absolutely free of any wax or sealant before installation.
• Check all door openings for proper clearance. NOTE: It may be necessary to flash patch some areas to ensure a smooth, flat surface for installation.

INSTALLATION
Installation of Reducer Strip (Aluminum) 

1. When using the aluminum reducer strip, drill 4” deep into the floor using the designated holes with a 1/4” drill bit. Be sure to vacuum out the drill holes.
2. With a hammer or rubber mallet, tap the 2.25" expansion anchor through the aluminum hole into the floor.
3. Using a screwdriver, tighten the expansion anchor.

Installation of Reducer Strip (Rubber) 

1. If the reducer strip is used within an open space, tape an outline of the reducer strip with masking tape to ensure a clean, straight line. 
2. Measure and cut the reducer strips to the perimeters of the installation area.
3. Cut 45° angles on the ends of the reducer strips and use super glue to bond the corners.
4. Using contact cement, generously coat both the floor and back side of the reducer strip.
5. Place the reducer strips down, ensuring they are flush with the thresholds to prevent any tripping hazards.

Note: In some instances, you may have to screw down all the reducer strips using 3/16” concrete screws with a hammer drill. 

Tape Application 

1. Make sure the surface is thoroughly dry and clean before applying tape.
2. The temperature of the substrate and tape should be above 65°F (19°C) for proper tape application.
3. Apply tape to the floor around the entire perimeter and across the direction of traffic every 9.75” so that the tape will cover 2” of each tile side and across the center.
4. Adhere tape to the floor and roll with a hand roller.
5. Remove protective film.

Installation of Carpet Tile 

1. Tiles must be laid by turning alternate tiles through 90 degrees to obtain a checker pattern. The pile direction is indicated by an arrow on the back of each tile.
