Wire Brush, Stiff Broom, Blower (optional), Straight Edge, Marker/Chalk, Utility Knife, Eye Protection, Hammer Drill, 5/32" Masonry Bit(s), 3/8" All Purpose Drill Bit, Phillips Screwdriver
Installs in less than 10 minutes!!!
Installation
 |
1. Place mat(s) in desired final position. If mats are placed side by side, leave a 1/8 in. gap between them. |
 |
2. While standing on the mat to prevent movement, remove one section of the paper backing. |
 |
3. Roll and press the exposed portion onto the surface. While standing on the attached end,remove the remaining sections of the backing and press and roll onto the surface.
|
 |
4. Use the RediMat™ Roller to insure a secure bond is achieved. Roll the mat both lengthwise, widthwise, and most importantly. along the edges.
|
 |
5. Using the drill and a 5/32 in. masonry bit, drill through the pre-drilled holes into the concrete to a depth of 1 1/4 in. If the mats are trimmed so a predrilled hole is removed, a new hole must be drilled in the mat using a 3/8 in. standard drill bit, 2 in. from the side edge and 1 in. from the beveled edge. |
 |
6. Be sure the screw and the matching washers are oriented so the neck of the screw falls into the inside taper of the washer. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, fasten the screws into the drilled holes. The proper screw tightness will allow a slight finger twist of the washer. Do not overtighten.
|
 |
7. Cut the nozzle of the sealant tube at the 1/4 in. mark. Apply a smooth, thin bead of sealer around the perimeter (sealer is not required between adjoining mats). Mats are ready for immediate use once installation is completed and edge sealant has dried to the touch. Tip: To make the edge sealer dry faster, mist with water. |
