INSTALL sets stage for inspiration with expert installation

The challenge of a large space, mixed materials and intricate design were met by a highly skilled, INSTALL-trained team.


By INSTALL | June 5, 2017

The original interior of the Scranton Middle School located in the small community of Brighton, MI had grown tired and drab – but a beautifully installed floor with unique shapes, colors, patterns and materials transformed it into an inviting, inspiring space for students and staff.

 

Installation Challenge

The major challenge for the design and installation team was integrating large swaths of broadloom carpet with individual carpet tiles. At 6,000 square feet, the large space presented challenges with carpet seams, stripes and radiuses that had to line up perfectly with doorways and other visual guides. Furniture was also designed to fit within several sections, meaning that the installation had to be absolutely precise. Circles within circles, half-circles and different materials added to the complexity, and special templates had to be developed to ensure a perfect fit.

 

 

Results

Thanks to a highly skilled, INSTALL-trained team, a beautifully renovated space now greets students and staff when they enter the library. The large swaths of broadloom are expertly installed and built to provide years of use. Much of this can be attributed to Conventional Carpet’s INSTALL-based apprenticeship program, as many of the installers have spent their entire career at the company and receive annual regular training by INSTALL certified trainers.
