ADVANCED INSTALLATION

NWFA HEADQUARTERS ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

This four-day in-person course was designed for experienced wood flooring professionals. Led by Ben Totta of Totta Hardwoods, it covered a variety of techniques for creating, designing, installing, and developing unique patterns and designs with solid, engineered, unfinished, and factory finished wood floors. Specialty skills also are taught based on student and instructor input, which may include introduction to designing parquetry, cutting marquetry, wood bending, and designing with circles/curves.

“The NWFA sets the standards, and you get to see people with a wide range of experience come together to solve problems you would encounter in real working situations.”

— Patrick Gallagher, Granlie Floor Service
