Finished Area - As an Island Layout
For a finished island-like layout - you will have all the border strips needed with your purchase. Easily take off border strips not needed.

WALL TO WALL INSTALLATIONS

Cutting the Material
Use a retractable utility knife or box cutter. Start with a new blade, change the blade if the mat begins to fray when you are cutting the mat.

Layout Option One - Using some border strips (included).
Start by placing one tile in the corner of your room that shares the two longest walls, this corner tile should have two border strips attached.

Next install mats with one border strip attached running away from the one corner tile in two directions - to cover two walls.

Next interlock all the mats that do not need to be cut working towards the opposite corner of the room from where you started. When all the mats are installed that do not need to be cut, then go ahead and start cutting the perimeter mats to fit up against the wall of your room - leave a 1/4" gap for mat expansion.

For many layouts you can use one mat in two spaces if the space to fill up against the wall is less than 10" wide.

Layout Option Two - Using no border strips.
Start the layout in the center of your room and install all the mats that do not need to be cut. Center the layout in the middle of the room. Next begin cutting mats to fit around the perimeter of your room. Remember to save the scraps as you may be able to use them again to fill another gap in your room.

Please note: When figuring square foot coverage - these mats will loose 3/8" per tile after interlocking the tiles together.
