The tutorial for your floor makeover starts here:

Vacuum cleaning shiny floor.
Step 1

Acclimatize floor tiles for 48 hours in the room.

Surface preparation: clean the floor and damp mop it. The floor covering must be clean and dust-free before installation so that the self-adhesive floor tiles adhere well.

Step 2

Now measure the floor area and note the dimensions.

Note: if you always follow the same arrow direction when laying, the pattern will run evenly.

The first floor tile is pressed into place on the floor in a corner of the room using the pressure roller.
Step 4

Start by bonding the first floor tile in a corner of the room and press the tile well into place using the pressure roller.


Affix the tiles one after another on the floor in this way.

Step 5

Is a tile too long or too wide? Then simply measure the floor area to be covered and draw the required dimension on the front of the adhesive tile.

The adhesive tile lies on a cutting pad. The utility knife cuts the tile on its front side along a ruler.
Step 6

Now cut the tile to size – to do this, it is best to run the utility knife along the ruler several times.
