        Step 1: Measure and Cut the Carpet Squares

        Measure the room accurately so as not to end up with a sliver of carpet at the end of the room.

        To cut panel, mark the cut line. Use a utility knife to cut the panels. It takes a few passes to cut through the pad, moisture barrier and the carpet.

        Step 2: Blend the Panels

        In order to achieve a wall-to-wall look, make sure the panels are snug together and no fibers are trapped between the panels.

        Vacuum the floor when finished so panels disappear.
