With most Greatmats products, all you have to do is take a marker of choice, draw a straight line, put a 2x4 or piece of wood under the flooring, and make a cut using a utility knife, tile cutter or saw.
There are some products that require specialty supplies and flooring tools, many of which are also available at Greatmats. Some of the more popular items are:
- Portable Dance Floor T-handle Hex Key - Cam Lock
- Walk Behind Tape Dispenser
- Hand Held Tape Dispenser 3 inch
- Power Glue Gun
- Dispensing Unit 20 oz. DL 45T18
These flooring tools are made really well and come in happy for certain types of installations and specific products.

This product costs about $15 and weighs 3 pounds. It’s well worth the very small investment, as it makes the installation process of the cam lock products much easier.

The Walk Behind Tape Dispenser provides a faster, easier application. It is free of charge when you order a complete vinyl floor cover and 2 cartons of tape. Otherwise, it will cost about $345, and it weighs 20 pounds.


This glue gun has 3 times the thrust of a manual drive dispenser, and it is accompanied by an 18 volt lithium-ion battery and fast, 30 minute charger. Over 150 loads can be dispensed with one charge.
The gun comes fully assembled and has adjustable trigger speed. It will cost around $630.

The Dispensing Unit DL 45T18 is a manual sausage gun for 20 ounce adhesives. It is equipped with a stiff piston that is designed to scrape the barrel walls. Use this dispensing unit with our Adhesive for Tiles 550 Fast Cure when installing Sterling Rubber Tiles and Sterling Playground Tiles.
