On February 22 and 23, the National Association of Floor Covering Technicians (NAFCT) and Unite Floor Training Alliance are hosting the first annual Installation Summit where flooring installers, contractors, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers can come together to learn more, network and discuss the disconnect between installers and manufacturers.
After working with manufacturers for over 30 years, Robert Varden, founder, Unite, and owner, Advanced Flooring Technology (AFT), sees a need to facilitate better and more efficient communication between the installer and the manufacturer. “Most installers don’t even know they can call the manufacturer when there’s a problem,” he said.
