Troubleshooting
Tiles not locking together securely
Ensure the interlocking tabs are clean and free from debris. Check that you are tapping the tiles firmly with a rubber mallet to ensure a tight seam. Verify that the adjacent tiles are correctly oriented.
Gaps appearing between tiles
This can happen if tiles are not fully tapped into place. Go over the floor with a rubber mallet, focusing on the seams, to ensure each tile is fully engaged with its neighbors.
Uneven surface after installation
The subfloor may be uneven. While Ecotiles can handle some minor undulations, significant unevenness may need to be addressed before installation. Ensure all tiles are fully seated by tapping with a rubber mallet.
Difficulty cutting tiles
Use a sharp, high-quality utility knife or a jigsaw. Score the tile multiple times with the utility knife for cleaner cuts. Ensure the tile is well-supported during cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the existing subfloor is relatively clean and free of major debris.
Begin laying tiles from a corner or edge, ensuring the interlocking tabs face the correct direction.
Simply tap each tile into place with a rubber mallet, connecting it securely to the adjacent tiles.
Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the interlocking edges until a tight seam is formed.
Cut tiles as needed for edges or around obstacles using a sharp utility knife or jigsaw (measure carefully).
Compatibility:
These tiles are designed to be laid over most existing hard surfaces, including concrete, wood, and even existing vinyl or tile floors, provided they are reasonably flat and stable. They are not recommended for installation directly onto soft, uneven, or compromised subfloors.
Care:
Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dust and debris.
For spills or tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Minor scratches or scuffs are normal wear and tear for heavy-duty flooring.
