The replacement tile should match the style, color, size, backing, dye lot, and installation pattern as closely as possible. The damaged module is lifted without harming adjacent tiles. Loose debris, adhesive buildup, contamination, or substrate damage must be corrected. Some pressure-sensitive systems allow the existing adhesive to remain active, while others require additional approved adhesive. The replacement should be aligned, pressed, and rolled as directed. New attic-stock tile may appear different because surrounding carpet has been exposed to traffic and cleaning. Rotating tiles from less-visible areas may improve the visual match when permitted.
