To install rubber flooring in your home, you'll need a few basic tools. Here's a list of the essential tools required for the installation process:
1. Measuring Tape: A measuring tape is necessary for accurately measuring the dimensions of the room and the rubber tiles to ensure a proper fit.
2. Utility Knife: A utility knife with a sharp blade is essential for cutting rubber tiles to the desired size and shape, especially when fitting tiles around corners or obstacles.
3. Straight Edge/Ruler: A straight edge or ruler will help you achieve precise and straight cuts when using the utility knife to trim the rubber tiles.

5. Broom or Vacuum Cleaner: Before installing the rubber flooring, you should clean the floor thoroughly to ensure it's free from debris, dust, or any other particles that could affect the installation.
6. Rubber Mallet or Hammer: A rubber mallet or a hammer with a protective block can be used to gently tap the rubber tiles into place to ensure they are securely interlocked. Using this hammer will save you hours on the install and save your hands from pressing them in manually. Highly recommended.
7. Adhesive (optional): Depending on the type of rubber flooring you're using and the manufacturer's recommendations, you might need adhesive to ensure the rolls stay in place.
It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for the specific rubber flooring you have, as the installation process and tools required may vary depending on the product. Always take proper safety precautions while using tools, and if you're unsure about any step in the installation process, consider seeking help from a professional or consulting the Sparks customer support team.
