Armstrong Flooring Certified

ACS is part of the Armstrong Flooring Certified Installer Program (ACIP), which certifies installers in the skills and knowledge needed for installation jobs to be done correctly. ACIP courses instruct and test installers in the traditional methods of layout and fitting. They review techniques including freehand knifing, straight scribing and pattern scribing, seam cutting procedures such as double-cut, recess scribe, and heat welding. In addition, the courses include a refresher on the installation systems required for residential sheet vinyl and tile, residential and light commercial laminate, commercial sheet, luxury vinyl tile flooring and hardwood flooring. Topics include the recommended adhesives, seam treatments, pattern matching and estimating. The certification program allows Armstrong Flooring to verify that installers who pass are truly experts at what they do.
