These tiles form a resilient surface. The tiles are hard-wearing,
water-resistant and can contain PVC. They are tough and
inexpensive, but can appear clinical and cold.
Once you have decided on the tile, note its length and
width and measure the room carefully. Measure its length
and divide it by the length of one tile. Round up the number
of tiles to the next whole number. Now measure the width
of the room and divide that by the width of the tile, round
up the number of tiles to the nearest whole number. Multiply
the two whole numbers together. This will give the number
of tiles required to tile the room.

It is always wise to buy a few extra tiles to keep as spares
in case of accidental damage in the future.
Cleaning and caring
They should be swept rather than vacuumed, as the end of
some vacuums can scratch the surface. Use undiluted cleaner
to remove scuff marks. Do not use solvent products on this
surface. Wash with water and liquid floor cleaner and treat
with water-emulsion wax.
