Concrete Moisture Seminars Announced

(May 2, 2005 - AUSTIN, TEXAS): Architects and interior designers will learn how to avoid costly moisture-related problems in commercial flooring at two upcoming local workshops hosted by commercial flooring company Intertech Flooring.

The free “Mix: The Concrete Truth About Concrete Moisture” workshops are slated for May 18 in Austin and San Antonio. Independent concrete flooring experts Scott M. Tarr and Peter A. Craig will share proven methods for avoiding moisture-related problems in these seminars.

The San Antonio program will be held from 8:30-10:45 a.m. at the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk, 111 Pecan Street East. The Austin program is 1:30-3:45 p.m. at the Omni Austin Hotel, 700 San Jacinto Street. Participants can earn two CEU credits from the American Institute of Architects, and .2 credits from the International Interior Design Association and American Society of Interior Designers.

“Moisture-related problems can be extremely costly to correct, and can significantly delay construction projects,” said Intertech Flooring CEO Bill Imhoff. “Understanding what causes floor coverings to fail – and how concrete contributes – can help architects and designers ensure that project installations are done correctly the first time, every time.”

The workshops were developed by StarNet commercial flooring cooperative, of which Intertech Flooring is a founding member. Other sponsors include The Mohawk Group, Armstrong, Ardex Engineered Cements, and NORA.
Seating is limited, and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, call 1-877-204-2690 or register online.
