Sweep and vacuum away all loose sand, dirt, and dust, then degrease any oil spots to create a clean surface. The slab should be completely clear of debris before bringing tiles inside.",

Plan your grid layout from the entrance working backward, making sure the entry row aligns neatly with the garage door threshold.

Leave a dedicated expansion gap around all fixed walls and vertical obstacles as recommended by the manufacturer. This spacing allows the floor to expand during summer heat without tenting.",

Inspect the finished layout to verify no movement joints sit directly under wheel paths or stationary machinery.
