Mineral Surfaces Training Next Month

INGOMAR, Pa. — The International Surface Fabricators Association (ISFA) will host a Mineral Surfaces Training and Roundtable Event June 7-9 in Kent, Wash.

ISFA is partnering with FLOFORM Countertops to provide fabrication training for porcelain, sintered and ultra-compact surfaces, as well as an industry roundtable.

The first two days of the session include courses on layout, cutting, polishing and installation parameters and guidelines, and chip-and-scratch repair, among other topics. Shop-focused training will include shop layout best practices and organization, handling and moving panels, saw setup, blade specifications and cutting speeds.

Fabricators who complete the training will receive an ISFA Certificate of Completion.

The final day of this three-day session will include an Industry Roundtable Event and FLOFORM Countertops facility tour. Roundtable discussions will be centered around how the porcelain category fits into a fabricator’s business, and how this surface category could help with labor challenges, material shortages, and inflation.

ISFA Fabricator Members can reserve their spot for $999. Fabricators who are interested in attending but are not ISFA members are welcome to attend for $1,199, which includes a one-year membership.

Registration includes the Mineral Surfaces Training and Roundtable Event as well as meals.

Fabricators and other industry professionals who are interested in attending just the Roundtable Event are welcome to do so by obtaining a one-day pass. The Roundtable Event is free for ISFA Fabricator Members; a small fee applies to Associate Members and non-Members. Registration is required.

MSI Surfaces and Park Industries are serving as sponsors for the event.
