How much floor does one box cover?

One box holds 8 planks at 9 x 36 inches, which covers 18 square feet. Measure the room and add about 10 percent for cuts and edges.

Do I need adhesive or a underlayment?

No. The planks have peel-and-stick backing, so they go straight onto a clean, flat subfloor. A smooth, dry surface matters more than any extra underlay.

Can I use it as an area rug?

Yes. The planks can be laid loose as a rug or stuck down wall to wall. For a rug, butt the edges tightly so the seams stay closed.

Vacuum regularly and blot spills with a damp cloth. The solution-dyed nylon and R2X treatment resist stains, but blot rather than scrub to avoid fuzzing the pile.

Can I replace a single damaged plank?

Yes. Because the planks are individual tiles, a stained or worn plank can be lifted and replaced without redoing the floor. Keep a spare box for matching.

Is it good for basements and pets?

The nylon face and stain treatment handle pet accidents and damp-foot traffic well. Fix any moisture problem in the slab first, since the adhesive needs a dry surface.
