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 -

For carpet squares it is a must that the arrows are followed. That
ensure the 'lay' of the carpet is all in one direction. The 'lay' is
the way the carpet is tied and is why a throw rug on carpet will
"walk" one direction but no other.
