1. Preparation

1) Make sure your existing floor is dry and clean and the air

temperature is at least 50°F. Vacuum floor thoroughly.

2) If your floor is painted and bonded well to the floor, you can apply

carpet tiles directly on the painted surface. If you’re unsure the paint

is well bonded to the floor, conduct a very quick and simple test to

find out:

TEST: First, take a piece of aggressive sticky tape, such as duct

tape, and press the tape down firmly on the painted surface, keeping

one end of the piece of tape in your hand. Then, pull the tape up

recommend you use a few tools to make your experience easier

and your finished product more precise. To cut the carpet tile, use a

utility or carpet knife and be sure to have a supply of sharp blades. A

24-inch carpenter’s square can help, as well as a tape measure and

a chalk line to align your carpet tiles. Please be sure to follow tool

manufacturer’s directions and safety

instructions.

down on all four carpet tiles. (Fig. B)
