The Flooring Inspectors Education Guild will hold a wood science class at NWFA headquarters in St. Louis on May 31-June 3. This class will be a departure from previous courses in that it is developed for people across the wood flooring industry, not just inspectors. Topics will include engineered flooring manufacturing and construction, and wood anatomy and moisture relationships. For an expanded overview, visit Hardwood Floors' calendar page. To register, contact Selva Tucker at [email protected] or call (864) 238-5507.
