Architects, designers are ready to be 'floored' by INSTALL

October 10, 2003
The lack of good floor covering installation standards often led to faulty work and millions of dollars in expenses to repair the job. But, a new program called INSTALL is not only meeting standards, it's setting them. INSTALL -- the International Standards and Training Alliance -- is a program created by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.

Kansas City INSTALL and the Heartland Floorcovering Contractors Association will present a four-hour, multi-faceted event for architects and designers to understand how skilled floorcovering enhances the construction industry. The program is scheduled for Thurs., Oct. 16, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Kansas City and Vicinity Carpenters Training Center, 105 West 12th Avenue, North Kansas City, Mo.

The region's largest and most well-known architect and design firms are scheduled to attend.

Other event highlights will include: 26 exhibits from national flooring mills and manufacturers; eight continuing education sessions hosted by leading flooring manufacturers; eight hands-on demonstrations of various skills needed to properly install flooring; and one design and installation competition among the architect/design firms. The competition begins at 4:30. Winners will be announced at 6:30 p.m.

This event marks the official launch of INSTALL in the Kansas City region.
