tiling
I do, more or less, know what this means, but I'm not sure how to refer to it in English:

Para ajustar en los extremos de la pared realizar los siguientes pasos
• Ponemos una pieza por la cara no decorada (y siempre macho abajo y hembra arriba) encima de la última pieza colocada dejando 4 mm. de tope con la pared que es justo el grueso de una pieza (se utiliza como galga como comentamos en CONSEJOS PREVIOS)
Thanks

Place the tiles in a male to female connecting pattern. The female
loops should be located (as you stand inside the garage facing
the garage door) at the bottom and right side of each tile as
shown.
They speak of male tabs connecting to the female loops for the tiles to lock into place
