flor carpet tiles::And when they get too dirty or one of the dogs inevitably vomits on them, they can be picked up and washed off in a cinch, which will undoubtedly extend their lifespan.
And when your tiles are beyond saving, you can.
For my entryway i chose good vibrations in jade.
Many of you might not ever need to cut your tiles.
But for my situation, i wanted an entryway rug and the standard 19.
Simple solution since flor tiles are designed to be cut.
But given the cost of the tiles and no experience doing it, i was slightly hesitant to just start cutting.
First i positioned the 8 tiles down in the pattern i wanted.
There are arrows on the back of the tiles to easily guide you with your pattern.
The arrows should face the same direction as the tile next to it for a straight installation or the arrows should be turned 90degrees to the tile next to it for parquet.
For my tiles, all i needed to remove was a half inch off one side of each tile.
Measure and mark on both ends of your tile.
Before you start cutting, make sure you have a selfhealing mat or piece of cardboard underneath your tile to protect your work surface.
Line up your straightedge and cut a small notch on each end with your utility knife.
With the ends notched, now go back and realign your straightedge with your markings.
Firmly hold the straightedge in place while you guide your utility knife along the edge to score your tile.
Bend the tile back to expose the scored section.
Now go back with your utility knife and repeat step 4 until you have completely separated it.
Because of the loop weave on my tiles, i went back with my scissors and removed all the stragglers so there was a nice clean edge.
Depending on your tiles, this may or may not be necessary.
The cut and cleanedup edge.

The flor dots are designed with marks on them so you can align the 4 corner edges of the tiles together.
The adhesive side should be facing up.
Then adhere the other 3 corners to the dot.
Flor says your dots are designed to become stickier the longer they are in place, so if you mess up and need to take it off and fix it or rearrange, no problem.
My finished customized entryway rug that actually stays in place!
