INSTALL has recently grown to more than 100 industry
partners. INSTALL works with flooring industry mills, manufacturers,
consultants, distributors and associations, all of which endorse, support and
offer technical counsel on the curriculum from which INSTALL professionals are
taught.
The latest
group of flooring industry companies to join INSTALL include the American
Safety Razor Co.; CMP Specialty Products; International Building Products Inc.;
Interlock Industries; K2S Kraft Seat; Ol Bastard Jig Sharp Scraper; Parterre
Flooring Systems; Pro Tile Distributors; and Top Level Tools. These new
partners combine to make-up INSTALL’s current roster of 105 Alliance members.
“As a
leader in the emerging green building movement, we recognize that to be truly
sustainable, a product must have proper installation or risk damaging the green
movement as a whole,” said Kevin Stasi, of International Building Products Inc.
“We are proud to partner with INSTALL to ensure that contractors are installing
our product properly. The INSTALL program provides us with piece of mind that
professional installers are getting the training they need to make green
construction work for them and for the good of our planet.”
“One of
the most important assets of this industry Alliance is the skill-enhancement
training that an INSTALL mechanic has access to,” added INSTALL Director John
McGrath. “In addition to the four-year training that our apprentices must
complete, our journeymen regularly undergo skill-enhancement training thanks to
our partners, who constantly visit our hundreds of training centers across
North America to teach product knowledge, emerging technologies, or
installation strategies concerning their product. As a result, INSTALL
professionals deliver on their reputation as being the best trained and most
productive flooring installers in the industry.”
