TILES QUANTITY CALCULATION
The standard dimensions of a single parking pattern flooring is recommended as:
- Length: 6 meters, 15 pcs of tiles
- Width: 4 meters, 10 pcs of tiles.
- Total: 150 pcs of tiles
However users can freely DIY any patterns they like according to their actual place layout.
How to quickly calculate the required tiles quantity of your floor?
- ( Length / 0.4 m ) * ( Width / 0.4 m ) * 1.03 = Tiles Quantity
- 1.03 is 3% approximate cutting loss.
FLOORING PATTERN IDEAS
INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
Step 1. Planning The Flooring Direction and Layout
- It’s recommanded to floor the tiles from the door side.
- First is planning the tile edges to be installed on the door side.
- Lock the pegs of edges (male joint) with the loops (female joint) of the first tile, then fixed the first tile.
- Install the rest tiles starting from the loops of the firs tile, can be extended from the rightward loops or downward loops.
Step 2. Flooring with Fanshaped Directon or Stripshaped Direction
- The two flooring directions have no difference, just up to users’ preferrence.
- Flooring under the pattern design.
- After locking two tiles with hands, use a rubber mallet to beat them for flat.
- Keep 0.5 cm space between the tiles and walls, to leave the space for the thermal expansion and contraction.
Step 3. Cut off the Redundant Part and Clean the Floor
- Use an electric handsaw or hand cutter to cut off the redundant part of tiles.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floor.
Options. Slotted Floor Foundation for Carwash Interlocking Tiles
- This option is only for the carwash or car detailing interlocking tiles.
- The vented interlocking tiles can be floored directly without slotted foundation, it will be good that the doorside has a municipal sewer, thus the flushing water can run to the sewer.
- If there is no municipal sewer to drain out the water, the carwash workshop could consider to design a slotted floor foundation for the tiles, thus the flushing water can be collected in the silt pool.
- The width of drainage slot should be not more than 8 cm, in order to not affect the load-bearing of the tiles upon it.
