Armstrong partners with INSTALL for resilient flooring installation certification
6/29/2009 -- Armstrong Floor Products, the national INSTALL program, and the Carpenters International Training Fund (CITF) are partnering to present a joint certification for commercial resilient flooring installation. The three parties finalized an agreement to mutually recognize the CITF and Armstrong training for certification purposes. Specifically, the CITF resilient certification test, which tests INSTALL professionals for proficiency in this skill, is now recognized as an Armstrong certification test as well. Armstrong, as one of INSTALL’s original partners, supports the concept of a comprehensive, in-depth training program with stringent national standards.
“By promoting the INSTALL program, we hope to bring this training and expertise to an even larger contractor audience. In this way, we can promote and advance minimum industry standards for quality installation, which benefits our entire industry,” says Tim Rawlins, manager, New Product Development, Installation Services, Armstrong.
To help ensure customer confidence, installers certified by Armstrong receive up to $2,500 in material cost for Armstrong branded linoleum and commercial sheet flooring and installation products to correct workmanship error. “What this means is that should an Armstrong commercial flat lay flooring job fail after being installed by an INSTALL, CITF-Armstrong Certified Installer, Armstrong will provide up to $2,500 in materials to repair or replace the project, and the certified installer contractor will supply all labor,” explains Rawlins.
