INSTALL Provides a New Standard of Excellence
Most designers don’t know that with the VA Master Spec, every VA carpet, resilient tile, resilient sheet and athletic carpeting job specified must meet INSTALL certification standards. It’s good news for VA designers because when you require a general contractor to select an INSTALL-certified flooring installer into your specification, no matter who the lowest bidder is, they’re guaranteed to be qualified — which means the job will be done right.
You Specify Products. You Should Specify Their Installation.
But why does your installation specification matter? When specifying VA and healthcare projects, it’s vital to understand full requirements — like the VA Master Spec — and more importantly, what it means for patient health and wellbeing.
In healthcare spaces, who’s installing your products is just as important as what they’re installing. It can mean the difference between life and death.
Specifying INSTALL and ICRA in healthcare ensures you’ll meet the VA Master Spec or any other requirements of your next project. Specifying INSTALL certified professionals ensures healthcare spaces will be safer, more sterile environments.

The Benefits of Specifying INSTALL

Requiring INSTALL standards means that the contractor is reliable with a proven track record and the installers on your project will be highly trained and carefully tested to perform the work you need.
