Local specifiers focus on flooring up close and personal
4/23/2008 -- More than 40 specifiers from the local construction community spent a morning recently learning about various aspects of floor covering installation, courtesy of the INSTALL Minnesota program. In partnership with the Construction Specification Institute's Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter, the INSTALL Minnesota staff first presented a continuing education seminar and then hosted the group for a hands-on demonstration in the INSTALL Minnesota training center. Apprentices of the INSTALL program demonstrated heat welding, laminate installation, tile scribing, carpet seaming and tackless installation. The goal - demonstrate to specifiers the importance of specifying Install-trained floor covering professionals.
