  Place floor graphics only on solid surfaces. Cracks, missing grout, uneven floor tiles and other imperfections in flooring may not only cause accidents, but also make installation difficult. Improper installation may cause areas of the floor graphic to become loose from the flooring, causing potential injuries.
