Save on installation costs!
Do-it-yourself!
Installing Kemil Tiles is simple, no adhesive is needed. Following
these easy steps will insure the longevity of your investment.
Please follow these instructions.
Before
starting the installation, spread the tiles throughout the
room for a minimum of 24 hours to acclimatize to room before
installing. This will ensure that the tiles are at their
optimum size, as rubber will expand and contract with
temperature and humidity changes.

NOTES:
-As wood, PVC is a material that dilatates during the
summer and contracts during the winter, with a dilatation
coefficient of 0,00015
mm/ºC.
-Rubber
will expand and contract with temperature and humidity
changes and a mat laid in the morning hours at 0º would be
a different size than a mat laid at 20ºC later in the day. |
