Designed by Wilsonart's technical department and taught by Stan Glogowski, Wilsonart's Northeast Technical Service Rep, the training began with classroom instruction specifically designed for commercial work. Emphasis was on larger scale projects including layout, commercial moldings, and use of the right power tools to perform high quality installation. "Having our Contact commercial line installed by a Wilsonart certified installer will guarantee the overall quality of the project", remarked Glogowski. He went on to say, "It is not enough to make a great product since proper installation will determine its long term performance." Phase two of CCA's certification of installers will take place during an actual client installation of Contact commercial flooring.
CCA has worked closely with Wilsonart key distributor, Southern Tile Distributors, for a number of years. CCA is a big proponent of commercial Wilsonart flooring, having just had Dave Stafford, Executive Vice President, and Ralph Grove, Vice President of CCA's Commercial Group, tour Wilsonart's Temple, Texas facility. "This was time well spent in seeing how high pressure laminate is made and then transformed into flooring. No wonder it performs so well," said Ralph Grove. According to Dave Stafford, "Our becoming a Wilsonart certified contractor is an integral part of our commitment to promote the product and was made possible by the unique partnership between Southern Tile, CCA, and Wilsonart that has grown over the years."
