Underlayment (optional, for added cushioning)

Installation Process:
Step 1 – Measure & Plan Layout
“Start by measuring your space. Pro Tip: Dongxing tiles come in 24”x24” panels, making it easy to calculate quantities (e.g., 100 sq.ft = 25 tiles).”

Step 2 – Prepare the Subfloor
“Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. For concrete floors, use Dongxing’s moisture-resistant underlayment to prevent mold.”

Step 3 – Lay the Tiles
“Begin from a corner, interlocking sports floor tiles tongue-and-groove. Use a rubber mallet to secure seams.

Step 4 – Trim Edges & Final Check
“Cut tiles with a utility knife for perfect edges. Test stability by jumping on the floor—no movement means a job well done!”

Don’t Let These Errors Ruin Your Gym Floor!
❌ Skipping Subfloor Prep: Moisture can warp even the best tiles. Use Dongxing’s underlayment for guaranteed protection.
“❌ Ignoring Expansion Gaps: Leave 1/4” gaps at walls to prevent buckling.”
