Wall to Wall Installation
IMPORTANT: If installing edge trim around the perimeter walls in a
wall to wall application, determine the number of whole tiles to be
used. Be sure to leave a minimum of
¹⁄₂" (1.25 cm) space between the
edge trim and the perimeter of the garage walls.
1.
Determine the starting point at the front of the garage. Using the
garage door track as a guide, draw a line (using a straightedge or
chalk line) between the center of the tracks on the garage floor as
shown.
2. Align the first female edge trim with the center line (near the left
edge of the garage door opening) as shown. The edge trim is the
guide for installing the tiles.
3. Using a rubber mallet connect the tiles in the first column
working from the female edge trim toward the back wall of the
garage. Continue installing the remaining tiles in the first row
working toward the right side of the garage as shown.
4. From the first column, continue installing the first row of tiles
working toward the left-side wall of the garage. Adjust the
installed tiles to balance the pattern.
IMPORTANT:
■ When installing tiles on the left-hand side of the column, it
may be necessary to adjust the position of the edge trim and
tiles.
■ To minimize cuts and/or balance the pattern, adjust the
installed edge trim and tiles to the left or right as needed.
When adjusting the tiles, be sure not to extend the edge trim
beyond the center line marked on the garage floor.
■ For a balanced pattern, tiles along both walls may need to be
cut. Before cutting the tiles or edge trim, measure the allotted
space. Mark and cut the tile to length for proper placement.
■ Using a saw, notch out the edge trim or tile around any
obstructions such as the garage door track.
■ In a wall-to-wall application, if no edge trim will be applied, it
may be necessary to cut the tile floor along one or more of
the perimeter walls.
