INSTALLATION TIPS

Your new floor is a free-floating floor system that requires no glues or fasteners to install. The following are a few key tips that will make your installation process trouble-free:

ü  Start your installation from either side of the garage door opening and work inward. Be sure to have your male edge (peg) facing the garage door and your loops facing the right and the back of the garage.

ü  During your floor installation, keep nothing on top of the floor as your floor will self-correct as you go.

ü  Do your entire trimming at the hottest part of the day and with nothing on top of the floor.

ü  Be sure to leave a minimum of ½” space between the floor and the wall (or anything such as cabinets, door rails, steps, etc). Your floor edge should never be up against anything.

ü  When bringing everything back into your newly surfaced area, do so at the hottest part of the day when the floor is fully expanded to its maximum.

ü  Never try to glue down or fasten your floor; it is designed to expand and contrast.

ü  RaceDeck can be trimmed to fit any size area using simple tools such as a table saw, circular saw, or band saw. A combination blade works best.

ü  Day-to-day cleaning is performed by sweeping and mopping with water and a degreaser (Grease Lightening) or low-suds ammonia. Solvent-based solutions can be used to clean stubborn areas. The RaceDeck can be unsnapped into several smaller sections and removed to the driveway from the garage for heavy-duty cleaning. To aid in separating the floor, slide a broom handle under the floor at a joint and slide it along the joint to separate the locks. Or you can use a putty knife to remove one single tile.
