Anyone know what the purpose of the arrows under peel and stick
floor
tile is for? I'm ready to do my basement floor, and just for a
test I
laid out some tiles and noticed thes arrows. The directions
don't say,
but I read online they should point in the same direction. But I
could
not notice any difference as far as the way it looks. If I
randomly
scatter the tile, it looks the same.
Does it have something to do with the glue?- Hide quoted text -

Back in around 1968 we did the 'carpet tile' thing in the operations
briefing room. No attention paid to the arrows. Damndest looking thin
you ever saw. They were torn up and redone.

Can also ensure pattern matching.
