UFloor Systems Inc. (Aurora, Colo.), as part of its partnership with the International Standards & Training Alliance (INSTALL), in May hosted a "Train the Trainer" event at INSTALL's International Training Center in Las Vegas and donated a wealth of equipment, as well.
UFloor, which includes the Uzin, Wolff and Pallmann brands, provided the curriculum and instructors to teach a group of INSTALL trainers who will, in turn, train floor covering installers through INSTALL programs. Trainers at the event were educated in floor removal and stripping, substrate surface preparation, priming and moisture mitigation, crack bridging and ramping, floor leveling, heat welding and installation tools and techniques.
UFloor donated about $25,000 worth of equipment to the event, including a Wolff Vario Silent Stripper, Master Groover, Welmaster Automatic Welder, Samba Grinding Machine and Samba Mounted Vacuum, among others.
"INSTALL is a valuable partner organization with us.... they are intimately connected to the flooring installer on a nationwide basis and provide some of the most complete and technically accurate training in our industry. It was an easy call for us to donate this equipment to their organization ... we recognize it as an investment in the future of high quality floor installations," said Matthias Liebert, president of UFloor, in a statement.
UFloor recommends the use of INSTALL Warranty Contractors for its UZIN brand of topical moisture vapor mitigation systems. In addition to UFloor's limited 10-year and lifetime warranty programs, INSTALL's industry leading labor warranty is available for customers.
