In line with our commitment to quality and technical expertise developed over 25 years, IDSurfaces was proud to host a series of free worksurface training sessions for installers across the UK.
These sessions, available to installers across our nationwide branches, were held in partnership with key worktop supplier, Wilsonart UK.
This collaboration reflects IDSurfaces’ dedication to providing valuable resources and support to our installer community, ensuring they stay at the forefront of industry trends and standards.
The one-hour training sessions focused specifically on how to install compact laminate worksurfaces, one of the fastest growing materials in the worktop sector, and were carried out by Wilsonart’s Technical Manager, introducing installers to the Bushboard Zenith compact laminate range.
The training aimed to showcase how easy it is to install compact laminate material using exactly the same tools and equipment needed for standard chipboard-based worktops.
Best practice on machining, storage, and handling of the material, alongside live demonstrations, were also shared during the informative sessions.
Jason Neve, National Business Development Manager for Worktops at IDSurfaces, said: “Installers often think that compact laminate must be harder and more problematic for them to fit on site but that’s the opposite of reality. There’s no extra investment needed to buy tools; they can simply use the ones they have already.
“Compact laminate is an increasingly popular worktop material, being a trade up from standard laminate and a much more cost- effective design alternative to composites. This focussed training gives installers the confidence and skills to add this to their services.
“By offering these training sessions and demonstrating the ease of installing compact laminate material for worktops, we aim to use our position as a market leader positively, ensuring that installers nationwide have the knowledge they need.”
