Education Session - Why Prep? From the Everyday to the Extreme
Every floor covering installation requires awareness, knowledge, and skill. Regardless of the final floor covering, floor surface preparation is the first and most important step for the installation of any flooring. If not properly prepped problems can arise including uneven surfaces, poor adherence, cracks, holes, and more. Before proceeding with your next installation review some basic preparation 'whys' that should be followed and several questions to factor. Presented by Shane Jenkins, Senior Technical Coordinator, Schönox, HPS North America, Inc.
2:00 - 3:00 PM
