Pattern & Woven Workshop

The CFI Skills Workshop is a “working” event to introduce new techniques and tools for the installation of patterned and woven carpets and provide solutions to problems. Due to the amount of space required for training, attendance is limited. Installers work with large sections of carpet, constructing seams, powerstretching, pattern matching and learning techniques that enhance the value of their skills in modules of approximately 16x24 in size.

This installation training course includes the 60-page hardbound CFI Patterned Resource Guide and lunch. A minimum of 15 installers is required.
