INSTALLATION
STEP 1—Clean Floor. Make sure garage floor is clean, dry, and free of any objects. Sweep dirt out of garage and remove any lumps or excess cement/debris that might cause a bump on the surface. |

Before ordering,
measure the floor. |
Clean floor before
applying flooring. |

Use a broom to push out any air underneath G-Floor. |
 |
 |
|
Roll out flooring front-to-back. |
 |
|
Push out any air with a broom. |

STEP 3—Joints & Cuts. When installing multiple rolls wall-to-wall, installers can use either:
A. Overlap seams: Overlap rolls 1.5" to 6"
— OR —
B. Butt-joints seams: Trim edges to continue floor pattern by forming a tight butt joint between rolls. Follow guidelines for butt-type joints. |

 |
|
Fold back roll number 2 and wipe clean area to be taped. |
|
|
Let G-Floor® "float" between exterior walls to allow for expansion and contraction. |
 |
 |
Carefully align edges of roll numbers 1 and 2.
Do not stretch mat or tape when applying. |
|
NOTE: For custom fit, always allow product to relax in place before trimming around edges and corners.
STEP 4—Trim. Trim floor to fit around poles, boards, etc. using utility/rug knife or scissors. Trim edges along exterior walls leaving 1/4" gap to allow for expansion/contraction.
HINT: A long metal ruler is useful for making straight cuts. |
 |
 |
|
Carefully trim around edges. |
 |
 |
|
Leave 1/4" gap around edges for expansion & contraction. |
|
|
Optional—Taping. After product has been allowed to relax in place, if you choose to hold down edges or seams between two floor protectors, we recommend using indoor-outdoor carpet tape or 3-M® brand 80 Rubber & Vinyl Spray Adhesive. |
 |
For optional taping of front edge, use 2-sided tape
or 3M® brand 80 Rubber & Vinyl Spray Adhesive. |
