Industry Leaders Endorse Substrate Prep Certification Program
INSTALL, the International Standards and Training Alliance, collaborated with nine industry-leading substrate and underlayment manufacturers on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU, signed at a special event at the International Training Center in Las Vegas, NV, on January 12, 2017, signifies a collective industry endorsement of INSTALL’s Substrate Prep Certification program.
The program is a collaborative effort between INSTALL and its manufacturer partners. It requires that each manufacturer specify that the installer of their underlayment products be an INSTALL-certified installer or equal. After this, and the successful completion of manufacturer proprietary testing, the installation will be eligible for an extended product warranty.
