| Article | LG Hausys Floors, the resilient floor covering division of LG Hausys America, Inc., has announced its full support for the International Standards & Training Alliance (INSTALL) branch of Floorcovering Professionals. LG Hausys Floors will reference the INSTALL program in all installation guidelines for its sustainable resilient flooring products, joining a growing list of top flooring manufacturers recommending the comprehensive training program for North American contractors. The INSTALL program for residential, commercial and institutional floor covering installers is a four-year, hands-on and classroom training regimen focused on resilient, ceramic, stone, hardwood, carpet, laminate, artificial turf and sports surfaces. After completing the four year apprenticeship and training program, INSTALL professionals can efficiently install any type of flooring in any configuration, allowing contractors to remain profitable and competitive by maximizing productivity. INSTALL professionals do the job right the first time, saving the contractor time and money, while preserving the integrity of the specification for the project manager. “LG Hausys Floors fully supports the INSTALL program,” said David Thoresen, executive vice president. “Finally an organization that embraces what is needed the most: Comprehensive training for installers hoping to make a career in an industry that is running short on highly trained professionals. INSTALL represents a win-win for the entire flooring industry by meeting the training and educational needs of contractors and specifiers at state of the art training facilities around the country. All LG floors guidelines will reference the INSTALL program, and I certainly suspect that we’ll be in good company.” The INSTALL program is guided by a 12-member International Labor Management Committee for the floor covering industry, representing over 400 years of industry-specific experience. Labor representatives are members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. INSTALL constantly teams with leading manufacturers and mills to ensure what’s being taught reflects the current labor needs of the floor covering industry. LG Hausys Floors, one of the world’s foremost producers of resilient floor covering, has been supplying the North American marketplace with the highest-quality product lines for over a decade. The company’s manufacturing facilities use the most advanced technology and are ISO-14001 and ISO-9001 certified for both environmental and quality standards.
