Installing Kiwi Tile

Kiwi Tiles have loops on two sides and tabs on the other two sides. The tabs of one tile pop into the loops of the next. Ramp edges can be used around the perimeter to transition from the subfloor to the tile. A gridwork of holes in the tile's surface allows water and other fluids to pass through quickly, while a system or 438 support legs under each tile suspends the tile from its subfloor. See specifications for additional technical information.

Two sides of each tile have loops and two sides have tabs. When laying the floor, all tiles must be oriented in the same direction as the first tile. Make sure that you have a level surface on which to lay the tile. If laying the floor on grass or other flexible surfaces, use a small, thin piece of plywood or other solid surface underneath a tile when snapping it together. Move the surface along with you as you work.
Start from the right hand corner of the area you wish to cover, with the 1st tile oriented with the loops facing to the left and down (tabs facing outward), as illustrated below.
Lay subsequent tiles along the top and right hand perimeters, placing the tabs into the loops and pressing down firmly to snap tiles together.
When disassembling a floor, reverse the above order, starting with the last tiles laid. Tiles can be left in sections (e.g. 3x3 or 3x6 tiles grids) to aid in storage and transportation (if applicable) and should be stacked so that the first section laid is on the top; this will also make future applications go more quickly.
Final Note: Always pick up or break apart the tiles by pulling on the tile stud inserted in the tile with the loop. This will prevent damage to the tabs and loops.
