Troubleshooting
Tiles do not interlock properly.
Ensure the interlocking edges are clean and free of debris. Check for any warping or damage on the edges. Push tiles together firmly.
Uneven floor surface after installation.
The subfloor may not be level. Remove tiles and level the subfloor before reinstallation. Check if tiles are correctly interlocked.
Tile edges appear rough after cutting.
Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge for cutting. For a cleaner finish, consider scoring the top surface first, then cutting through the foam.
Tiles feel too soft or compress excessively.
Ensure the subfloor is solid and provides adequate support. These tiles are designed for comfort and insulation; some compression is normal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Begin laying tiles from a corner, interlocking each tile with the adjacent one by pushing them together until a secure connection is formed.
Use the included detachable edging strips and the straight edge to cut tiles to fit around the perimeter or obstacles. A sharp utility knife is recommended for clean cuts.
Push the edging strips into the sides of the perimeter tiles to create a finished edge.

Care:
Clean regularly with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
For tougher marks, a non-abrasive floor cleaner can be used. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining.
Periodically check that tiles are securely interlocked and edging strips are in place.
