Smell: Air mats out for a day or two before install.

Tracking: Add a small entry mat at the house door.

Moisture: Leave edge gaps; lift to dry after big spills.
FAQs
Q: Will these hide oil and paint stains?
Yes. Sweep and degrease first, then roll out—no grinding needed.
Q: Do I need adhesive?
No. Most installs are “floating.” Use double-sided tape at seams or thresholds if needed.
Q: Can I park right after install?
Yes. Once rolls are trimmed flat or tiles are locked in, you can park.
Q: What about hot-tire pickup?
Modern PVC mats resist it; darker colors hide tire marks best.
