Installation:
If Its
Not Broken,
Don’t
Fix It
Regardless
of what
installation
method
you choose,
it is ALWAYS
recommended
that you
allow the
product
to relax
first.
This brings
us to the
simplest
method
of installation.
Sweep
your floor
Roll them out & Trim
your mats to
fit
Allow
your mats
time to
relax.
If after
your mats
are acclimated
and laying
flat you
decide
you want
a more
permanent
installation
you can
choose
from one
of the
methods
below.
That being
said, many,
if not
most of
our customers
choose
to leave
their mats
loose laid
once they
have seen
how they
lay.
Note:
The 10’ Mats
have a
small area
with no
pattern.
You can
use this
to overlap
the product
instead
of butting
them together.
Option
1:
Seaming
Strip
There
are several
methods
of joining
your mats
together
at the
seam. The
first option
is to use
a BLT seaming
strip and
adhesive.
Fold back one
of the mats
about 6” at
the seam
Using the mat
that is still
in position,
trace a line
down the entire
seam
Fold back the
second mat and
lay out a seaming
strip centered
on the line.
Apply the adhesive
to the top of
the strip in
accordance with
the manufactures
recommendations
and carefully
lay the mats
back onto the
strip
CAUTION:
Follow
the manufacturers
instructions
and read
the precautions.
Make sure
that you
do not
use to
much as
if it squeezes
up through
the seam
it may
stain the
mat.
Option
1A:
Carpet
Tape
Follow the directions
above, except
instead of laying
out the seaming
strip and adhesive,
simply lay out
3M Double Sided
Carpet tape.
Only peel off
the top protective
covering and
lay the mats
into the tape.
Option
1B:
Modified
Seaming
Strip
Follow the directions
from Option
1. DO NOT USE
THE ADHESIVE.
Instead use
3M Number 80
Spray adhesive.
Spray the adhesive
on the seaming
strip and allow
it to dry. Spray
the adhesive
on the portion
of the mats
that will lay
into the seaming
strip and allow
to dry.
Once
the adhesive
is dry
lay the
mats into
the strip.
Because
the adhesive
stays tacky,
it will
provide
a bond
but not
a permanent
seal. This
will allow
you to
remove
the mats
if necessary.
Option
2: Fully adhered
BLT Mats can
be fully adhered
to your floor
or trailer.
We highly recommend
allowing the
mats to relax
before applying
any adhesive.
Only use G-Floor® Brand
adhesive and
make sure you
follow the manufacturer’s directions
and precautions.
