Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in a 80 yo house in the upper midwest. The floors of the entire house are hardwood that is original and in excellent shape. However, the kitchen is a pain in the keister as it is a high traffic area and connects to an outside vestibule door. For those of you in warm climates wet snow and ice melt are not kind to wood floors or anything else actually. This product is the 'kitchen solution'. FYI this is my third set of these so I would like to offer some installation tips for hard surface flooring: 1) Assemble upside down, minus the edging. When you have the correct configuration use packing or duck to tape secure the seams. This will eliminate the stress on the connecting seams and avoid the mat coming apart. ('At the seams', I couldn't resist...) 2) After taping the seams secure a non slip rug pad that covers at least 3/4 of the mats down/floorside. I strongly suggest that you tape the corners of the non slip rug pad down to the mat so it will not 'buckle' on the hard surface floor. 3) An option for securing the non slip mat to the flooring backside is to cut a non slip mat for each tile and secure them together taping the seams. 4) Lay the finished product SLOWLY on a freshly cleaned, dry floor. 5) DO NOT WALK ON IT UNTIL IT IS IN THE PROPER POSITION, If you do walk on it and you need to move it, well you will know why I told you not to walk on it yet. LOL 6) To position it, you can 'ripple' the mat to allow air between the mat and the floor. 7) Once you're happy its where you want it to me walk on it to push out any excess air and establish the contact of the non slip backing to the floor surface. 8) Attach the edging. DA DA! There you go! Hope you find this product as useful as I have...
